from Solidarity & More · host Workers' LIberty
"Crime and policing" is session 2 in a 5 part series of meetings "The state, crime, prisons and the police". This is a recording of the introduction given by a Workers' Liberty activist. • For upcoming meetings, see https://workersliberty.org/c19-online • Part 1: https://soundcloud.com/workers-liberty/what-is-the-state-1-of-5 • Listen, download, subscribe to Workers' Liberty audio at: https://workersliberty.org/audio The Labour party went into the 2019 election calling for police increases larger than the Tories. So can a left-wing government or even socialist government have the police working in our interests? Who are the people who suffer most at the hands of the police? Working class communities find themselves overwhelmingly the victims of crime, and yet the police often ignore anti social behaviour and crime in these same places. What should socialists say about the cops?
