Luxury Beliefs and Social Consequences
This chapter investigates 'luxury beliefs' exemplified by the 'defund the police' movement and its social implications. It contrasts the motivations of wealthier advocates with the perspectives of those from lower-income backgrounds, highlighting the disproportionate impact on crime perception and public safety. The discussion critiques the disconnect between social ideals and the realities faced by communities, particularly regarding issues of crime, feminism, and personal identity.
