Americans are fighting back against police violence, calling for police departments to be reformed and, in some cases, abolished. Politicians at local, state, and national levels have responded in a variety of ways to these calls to action. This book explores the government's response to protests and policies introduced by legislators to combat police violence. Easy-to-read text, vivid images, and helpful back matter give readers a clear look at this subject. Features include a table of contents, infographics, a glossary, additional resources, and an index.
