funnybunnyOne point that stood out to me in Becoming 'Copwise' is the idea that increased policing can sometimes push people further into criminalized behaviors, such as avoiding formal employment or public spaces, because constant scrutiny makes legit activities feel just as risky as illegal ones. #so345
flamingosun@bunnyfam24 This is an interesting point as well because I think it leads back to the idea of stigma and judgement. In addition to avoiding public spaces to avoid police, they're also avoiding the judgement of others. An identity is created of them due to the continuous criminal behavior they take part in and in turn can either lean into it or try to turn it around. #so345
