Violence impacts everyone. Maybe it doesn’t impinge on you directly. Maybe you and your loved ones feel safe most of the time. But the sad reality is, we know that violence is happening all the time, somewhere in our country, our cities, our towns, and our neighborhoods. Sometimes we see it, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes it makes the news; usually it doesn’t.

In 30 years on the front line of British policing, there is very little that Iain Donnelly didn’t do: from being a uniformed constable on the beat in London to running counter-terrorism and surveillance operations, combatting child sexual exploitation and overseeing the investigation of the most serious crimes.

Beyond Survival puts these strategies front and center as real alternatives to today's failed models of confinement and "correction."
