Resources
Beyond Do No Harm Network’s #CopsOutOfCare working group has also created additional related resources. Check out some of these resources below:
Timeline of Hospital Criminalization
This 2-page resource was co-created by Beyond Do No Harm’s #CopsOutOfCare working group, and shows the various points at which criminalization occurs in health care settings, as well as opportunities for providers to interrupt criminalization.
Abolitionist Principles for Healthcare Workers in #CopsOutofCare
This set of principles was created to help inform tactics and strategies towards dismantling policing in health care, including base-building, consciousness raising, narrative shifts, policy shifts, and mutual aid projects as organizing interventions.
Abolitionist Healthcare Research Ethics in Medicine and Public Health
This resource also emerged from the Cops Out of Care working group, and shares principles for researchers in medicine and public health.
