NOTES

Introduction -- Enduring legacies -- Policing paradigms and criminalizing webs -- Policing girls -- Policing (dis)ability -- Police sexual violence -- Policing gender lines -- Policing sex -- Policing motherhood -- Police responses to violence -- Resistance -- Conclusion

Invisible No More is a timely examination of how Black women, Indigenous women, and women of color experience racial profiling, police brutality, and immigration enforcement. Placing stories of individual women--such as Sandra Bland, Rekia Boyd, Dajerria Becton, Monica Jones, and Mya Hall--in the broader context of the twin epidemics of police violence and mass incarceration, it documents the evolution of movements centering women's experiences of policing and demands a radical rethinking of our visions of safety--and the means we devote to achieving it.--Publisher website
