Transformative Justice
Books that provide solutions to navigating and resolving harm without / in opposition to the presence of carcerality (i.e. the interconnected systems of police, prisons, criminalization, punishment, surveillance, etc). In other words, it is a form of abolition + decolonization in practice re: accountability.
As an introduction, here is a primer to transformative justice.
Feedback and recommendations welcome!
