In this episode, Lambros Fatsis and Melayna Lamb talk about their new book ‘Policing the Pandemic: How Public Health Becomes Public Order’. They discuss how the pandemic has revealed the damaging relationship between public health and public order and explain why we need to explore our assumptions about policing and what it's for. Aiming to shift our world view, they offer suggestions for practical steps towards abolitionist practices and ways of thinking.
