Английская Википедия:Andrea Ritchie
Andrea J. Ritchie is a writer, lawyer, and activist for women of color, especially LGBTQ women of color, who have been victims of police violence.[1][2] An abolitionist, her activism consists of demand for the elimination of police and prisons.[3] She is the author of Invisible No More, a history of state violence against women of color, and co-author of No More Police: A Case for Abolition with Mariame Kaba.
Education
Ritchie attended Cornell University and Howard University School of Law.[4] She clerked for Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on the United States District Court for the District of Columbia.[5]
Career
Ritchie is a Researcher-in-Residence at the Social Justice Institute at the Barnard Center for Research on Women.[6] Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, Teen Vogue, and Essence.[7][8][9] In 2018, Ritchie co-authored the report SayHerName: Police Violence against Black Women and Women of Color with Kimberlé Crenshaw and the African American Policy Forum (Haymarket 2016).[10] In 2022 she published No More Police: A Case for Abolition which she co-authored with Mariame Kaba. In No More Police she provides some details on events in her life that made her a prison and police abolitionist, lays out arguments for why policing should be abolished, and discusses methods of creating safety without police.[11]
Invisible No More
In 2017, Ritchie published Invisible No More: Police Violence Against Black Women and Women of Color.[1][12] In it, she gives a history of often-obscured state violence against women of color in the United States, beginning in the colonial period and continuing through the present, discussing how the historical precedent established current conditions.[13] She ties practices in colonialism, slavery and Jim Crow to contemporary policing frameworks including broken windows policing and the wars on drugs, immigration, and terror.[14] In a review for Policing and Society, Robert Nicewarner found four major contributions Ritchie made with the book: demonstrating the historically contingent and structural nature of police violence against women of color; the development of “mixed” methodology interweaving statistics and personal stories; demonstrating the insufficiency of police response to violence against women of color; and demonstrating the “dire need to resist and reform” these issues.[14]
