This was written by anarchist survivors of sexual violence and abuse. It digs into the different approaches to deal with serious harm with the goal of not recreating the same oppressive systems of state “justice”.

    Instead of a permanent class of cops, people might rotate through guard duty; some percent of people might have the education required to investigate crime, but to prevent the potential for a repressive system, they might get called up randomly for brief periods of time (nobody should be a fulltime cop or judge).

    Often you need people sufficiently trained in dealing this such situations though. One proposal I have seen is to have “professionals” but always have them accompanied by a layperson as a civil duty who can over-rule decisions and can act as a witness (unlike a body cam that is nearly always suspiciously out of battery or turned off when police abuse happens).
