#Brokenpromises, Black Deaths, & Blue Ribbons - Understanding, Complicating, and Transcending Police-Community Violence

This volume powerfully examines divides and mistrust between urban communities and police. The essays challenge readers to contemplate how eroding trust developed, the concerns and challenges facing divided communities, and possible pathways forward considering whose lives matter.
