關於本有聲書

When Cops Are Criminals examines the widespread problem of police brutality and corruption from the perspectives of those who understand it in depth. Pulling together the accounts of survivors, campaigners and academics, it explores different forms of criminal behaviour by police, the factors that contribute to it, the impact it has on victims, and the challenges of holding perpetrators accountable. Told with candour, honesty, bravery and rage, these stories will challenge listeners to reflect on the institutions that so many people take for granted. Whose interests are they really serving? And where can people turn when the institutions that are supposed to protect them are the ones doing the damage? Warning: This audiobook contains firsthand descriptions of sexual assault, stalking, police brutality, racial abuse (including racial slurs), and corruption. There is also mention of child abuse, pedophilia, substance abuse as well as homophobic and transphobic behaviour. Listener discretion is advised.
