Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color

📝 Book Review & Summary

This book corrects a persistent gender gap in public accounts of police violence. Ritchie shows that women and gender-nonconforming people are not marginal cases of state violence but central targets of racialized policing, gender discipline, and criminalization.

It belongs beside anti-violence resources because it asks who becomes less safe when the language of protecting women is handed to police systems.
