Thank you, Knopf, Pantheon, Vintage and Anchor / Pantheon, for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

Mr. Book just finished Defund: Black Lives, Policing And Safety For All, by Sandy Hudson.

This book will be released on April 1, 2025.

This book does an excellent job explaining what defunding the police really means and discussing the existing problems with the police. It is highly recommended for anyone interested in the topic.

I give this book an A.

Goodreads and NetGalley require grades on a 1-5 star system. In my personal conversion system, an A equates to 5 stars. (A or A+: 5 stars, B+: 4 stars, B: 3 stars, C: 2 stars, D or F: 1 star).
