Description: "... gathers stories of Black women who have been killed by police and who have experienced gender-specific forms of police violence [such as sexual assault], provides some analytical frames for understanding their experiences, and broadens dominant conceptions of who experiences state violence and what it looks like... a resource to help ensure that Black women's stories are integrated into demands for justice, policy responses to police violence, and media representations of victims and survivors of police brutality... concludes with recommendations for engaging communities in conversation and advocacy around Black women's experiences of police violence, considering race and gender in policy initiatives to combat state violence, and adopting policies to end sexual abuse and harassment by police officers."--Website
