Reviews
"An urgent call to dismantle carceral feminism rooted in a powerful historical analysis that centers the lived experiences and movements of those left out of mainstream feminism." --Alex Vitale, author of The End of Policing "This unflinching history of mainstream British feminism's entanglements with the police deserves to be read by all feminists. Cowan tackles crucial questions, from why some suffrage campaigners eventually became fascists, to why some feminists demanded more police power after Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving police officer. She also explores the still-marginalised history of working class, women of colour feminist organising which has sought transformation instead of control. This is essential reading to help us out of the quagmire in which gains for some women are still achieved at the expense of others." --Alison Phipps, author of Me, Not You: the trouble with mainstream feminism " Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? is the book we've been waiting for. Leah combines forensic research with a rare and generous clarity of thought. I learned so much about the history of policing and the pioneering attempts to build something different and better in the future. This should be required reading, especially for white women." --Emily Kenway, author of Who Cares

Synopsis
A tangled history of feminism's complicity and resistance Every week it seems there is a fresh scandal involving abhorrent, racist, misogynist behaviour by police officers. Yet these are the very people women are supposed to approach for help when faced with violence. And many feminists, hoping to use the criminal justice system to protect women, fight for stronger laws and longer sentences for those who harm them. Why Would Feminists Trust the Police? traces the history of British feminism's alliances and struggles with the law and its enforcers. Drawing on the legacy of Black British feminism, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known the truth: the police aren't feminist, and the law does not keep women safe., Every week it seems there is a fresh scandal exposing the violence of policing. Yet some factions of feminists past and present have fought for ever-harsher laws and longer prison sentences, with little consideration of how criminalization perpetuates cycles of harm and entrenches structures of inequality. The history of British feminism's alliances with the law and its enforcers is complex and multifaceted. Drawing on the legacy of Black feminism and abolitionist organising in and against Britain, Leah Cowan reminds us of the vibrant and creative alternatives envisioned by those who have long known that the police do not reduce harm and that the law was never designed to keep our communities safe.
