Cover
Police everywhere, justice nowhere
Whether drawing on personal experiences or imagined stories about modern policing one theme runs through: a shared view of brutal, oppressive policing. Policing that does more harm than good, and a system which hinders, rather than encourages freedom of expression. Or more simply put: acts like an Excessive Force.
Profits from Excessive Force will go towards FITwatch and the Legal Defence and Monitoring group both of whom work towards ending police repression.
The book also contains a brief timeline of police abuses, an article from FITwatch and an article titled 'Why we don't need the police' discussing alternatives to current social structures.
