Incredibly well-researched, and a lot of the information was useful. Unfortunately, the analytical framework was incredibly lacking, and I felt like the author could have done a much better job of putting the threads together and reaching new conclusions based on them. The very best chapter, Chapter 10, focuses on violence against indigenous women and on the legacy of colonialism in Australia and the United States. If this lens had been extended to the rest of the book, it would have benefitted hugely. Unfortunately, the author just didn't quite go far enough in terms of critiquing the police and discussing white supremacy's role in domestic violence across the board. There was also a lot of weird anti-China bias? Still a useful, if difficult, book that I would recommend to a lot of people. Just lacking in some areas for me.
