About this book

Shoot to Kill: Police and Power in South Africa is a vivid and ambitious surveyof the complex politics of security, crime and social control in South Africa.Nearly three decades after the formal end of apartheid, policing in SouthAfrica continues to be defined by brutality, incompetence and corruption.Featuring unapologetic critiques of elite power and the stifling politics of fear, while informed by global discussions on police abolition, Shoot to Kill: Police and Power in South Africa calls for a society based on democracy and justice.Author Christopher McMichael speaks to the realities of our worldincreasingly defined by militarised injustice and outlines ways we can escape from this rusty cage.
