Abstract or Description

Moderated by Jennifer Fleetwood (Goldsmiths College), a panel including Dr Koshka Duff (Author, Abolish the Police, Lecturer, Nottingham University), Thomas Marriott (Designer and Researcher, Goldsmiths College), and Dr Nikhaela Wicks (University of Kent), will focus on the use of excess force and other forms of violence that can typify interactions with private security and police forces. Amidst recent revelations about the working culture at the MET, failing detention centers, and questions around far-right actions, the question of how well communities are cared for and served by existing systems of policing and security are ever present. Is reform possible, or do we need to radically rethink?
