What is revealed when police abuse is viewed through a feminist lens?  In what ways is police misconduct a gendered phenomenon?  Does such an orientation make visible harms and costs otherwise hidden from view? Does it offer ways of reframing our discourse about crime and law enforcement?

I couldn't believe what I was reading! I think that those police officers were wrong in the way that they treated Diane Bond. They should be punished for what they did to her. Thank you for telling her story. Keep up the good work! Gloria J. Dickson
