Ben Elfland Not particularly -- the 'Alternatives' section of each chapter lays out broad goals, anecdotes of success, and how we might reallocate the funding and responsibilities of the police, but it is usually light on specifics when it comes to policy and funding options. The book is more concerned with ethics and the re-imagining of police in society than with the nitty-gritty of transforming those ideas into reality.
Daisy S I would say it is more theoretically minded, yet in an approachable way. I don't think there are tangible alternatives offered.
Christina Meyer It mainly focuses on police, but it does mention really compelling alternatives with every single chapter, focusing on a different aspect of policing.
