My latest book, Policing the Progressive City, will be out early next year.  It is a history of policing in Portland, from initial colonization through the uprising of 2020.  You can now pre-order copies from AK Press at a significant discount.

My recent talk in Missoula, about the how’s and why’s of police abolition, is now online.

I have two events coming up this month.

I wish they didn’t always use my photo on the posters.

In keeping with the trend of reading things aloud on the internet, here is someone named Brett reading my essay “The Other Side of the COIN.”
