"No more policing, incarceration, and militarization. It can't be reformed."

6. "What happens to rapist, people who hurt children etc?"

What happens to rapists now? The vast, vast majority of people who commit sexual assaults go free. Police retraumatize victims when "trying" to "help" them. There is a better way.

In an abolitionist model, we look at the ways we can meet people's needs so they don't cause harm. It doesn't mean flipping a switch and eliminating the police overnight. It means dedicating yourself to other models of harm reduction that also don't harm people in themselves.

Take the example of rape. Childhood trauma and lack of empathy are two of the largest pathways that lead to sexual assault. Both of those can be off-ramped in childhood through better parenting and schooling. If we take the resources that go towards policing and apply them to better parenting and schooling, rape will go down.
