The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the inadequacies of the
state's response to public health and public order issues through
deeply flawed legislation. Written in the context of the
#BlackLivesMatter protests, this book explores why law enforcement
responses to a public health emergency are prioritised over welfare
provision and what this tells us about the state's criminal justice
institutions. Informing scholarly, civic and activist thinking on
the political nature of policing, it reveals how increasing police
powers disproportionately affects Black people and suggests
alternative ways of designing public safety beyond a law
enforcement context.
