LAPA fellow, 2018-19, and professor of law at Ohio State University, Amna Akbar, gave a LAPA seminar last year entitled (Arguments for) Police Abolition. This week, she has a new piece out on the subject of defunding the police in the New York Review of Books, and explains where the demand to “Defund the Police” comes from, and what "abolition" really means on WNYC's On The Media program.
