Bibliography:

Summary:
"Cops, politicians, and ordinary people are afraid of
black
men
. The result is the
Chokehold
: laws and practices that treat every African American man like a thug. In this explosive new book, an African American former federal prosecutor shows that the system is working exactly the way it's supposed to.
Black
men
are always under watch, and police violence is widespread--all with the support of judges and politicians. In his no-holds-barred style, Butler, whose scholarship has been featured on 60 Minutes, uses new data to demonstrate that white
men
commit the majority of violent crime in the United States. For example, a white woman is ten times more likely to be raped by a white male acquaintance than be the victim of a violent crime perpetrated by a
black
man. Butler also frankly discusses the problem of
black
on
black
violence and how to keep communities safer--without relying as much on police.
Chokehold
powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change. Butler's controversial recommendations about how to crash the system, and when it's better for a
black
man to plead guilty--even if he's innocent--are sure to be game-changers in the national debate about
policing
, criminal justice, and race relations"--From publisher.
