Starting this fall, Davidson College will be offering a course titled “#Abolishthepolice: Race and Policing in the U.S.”
It will enlist "Black political and feminist theories" and social and political philosophies to "critically examine and think through issues of race, criminalization, incarceration, police militarization, predictive policing, surveillance, and domestic security." The course, first reported by Campus Reform, will satisfy the requirements of social and scientific thought and for Africana and Sociology majors. The course description cites "numerous experts" who have shown that the U.S. has the highest rate of police violence and incarceration as well as "scholars" who have shown that "Black, brown, and indigenous people are disproportionate police targets."
