Description
"Andrea J. Ritchie, in her important essay "Law Enforcement Violence Against Women of Color," argues that anti-police brutality work must integrate an analysis of police violence based on race and gender, and that the movement to end violence against women must address the myriad ways that community violence and law enforcement violence intersect and impact the lives of women of color. We must situate law enforcement violence against Black women within the larger contexts of increased police surveillance of poor Black communities, racial profiling, mass incarceration, and the prison industrial complex." -Tasasha Henderson
