CHOKEHOLD: POLICING BLACK MEN
Book ID/图书代码： 12861016B97797
English Summary/英文概要： Cops, politicians, and ordinary people are afraid of black men. The result is the Chokehold: laws and practices that treat every African American man like a thug. In this explosive new book, an African American former federal prosecutor shows that the system is working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Black men are always under watch, and police violence is widespread—all with the support of judges and politicians.
In his no-holds-barred style, Butler, whose scholarship has been featured on 60 Minutes, uses new data to demonstrate that white men commit the majority of violent crime in the United States. For example, a white woman is ten times more likely to be raped by a white male acquaintance than be the victim of a violent crime perpetrated by a black man. Butler also frankly discusses the problem of black on black violence and how to keep communities safer—without relying as much on police.
Chokehold powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change. Butler’s controversial recommendations about how to crash the system, and when it’s better for a black man to plead guilty—even if he’s innocent—are sure to be game-changers in the national debate about policing, criminal justice, and race relations.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 警察、政客和普通老百姓都害怕黑人。于是有了“扼制”：把每个非裔美国人当做恶棍暴徒来对待的法律和惯例。在这本全新的书中，这位前联邦检察官展示了目前的体制所导致的结果：黑人总是被监控，警察暴力滥用——所有这些都受到法官和政客的支持。
作者Butler通过新的数据向我们展示了在美国，大部分暴力罪行是由白人所犯的。例如，一位白人妇女遭到白人男性强暴的几率是遭到黑人暴力的10倍。Butler还坦诚地探讨了黑人内部暴力问题以及如何在不依赖大量警力的前提下维持一个安全的社区。
《扼制》有力地证明了为何目前的执法改革举措无法取得长久的变革。作者提出了具有争议的建议：例如，如何打破现有的体制等，这些建议定会为政策、犯罪司法和种族关系的全国性辩论带来颠覆性的影响。(LYR)
