I listened into this webinar just out of interest, the ‘abolition movement’ isn’t strictly my niche, however I was disturbed enough by what they had to say to feel it worth posting about. If you didn’t know, abolitionists want to destroy all policing services and remove punishments for criminals, though for some time they have been scratching their heads how to square this aim with their adjacent cosily-named ‘gender-based violence’ schtick. As we all know, the crimes of rape, sexual abuse and domestic violence, are overwhelmingly committed by men, with women largely the victims. To solve some of the problems around this issue, the UK prison abolitionist squad has developed a booklet to shove at people when anyone might question them about why they felt someone like Wayne Couzens should escape the criminal justice system.
