Description
Summary:"A critical anthology exploring the debates, conundrums, and promising practices around abolition and social work in academia and within impacted communities. Within social work--a profession that has been intimately tied to and often complicit in the building and sustaining of the carceral state--abolitionist thinking, movement-building, and radical praxis are shifting the field. Critical scholarship and organizing have helped to name and examine the realities of carceral social work as a form of "soft policing." For radical social work, abolition moves beyond critique to the politics of possibility." --
