Reviews
Winright's longstanding experience and expertise in policing are here brought together in a volume that could not be more timely. His take-down of police 'militarization' in favor of a community policing model will speak to all who have been outraged and alarmed at recent police killings of unarmed Black people, or at threats of military-grade violence against antiracism protesters. This book will bring insight to scholars, while catalyzing lively classroom discussions. --Lisa Sowle Cahill, J. Donald Monan, SJ, Professor of Theology, Boston College As recent events have shown, the most urgent question in American social ethics today pertains to police actions. With his background in law enforcement and extensive academic training, Tobias Winright has emerged as the most insightful and compelling voice in Christian ethics on questions of just policing in our racially divided and unjust society. --Cathleen Kaveny, Darald and Juliet Libby Professor of Law and Theology, Boston College The writing of Toby Winright is always worth reading, but this volume is especially so. Drawing upon his experience in law enforcement as well as his scholarship in Christian ethics, he has provided a collection of essays that are significant both for their timeliness and insight. --Kenneth R. Himes, OFM, Professor of Theology, Boston College
