Today at work, I talked to my normie colleagues about ACAB. Their opinion was incredibly boring ("it is stupid, since obviously not all cops can be bad", etc.) and uninformed.

I am not hoping that some awesome debating skills might convince anyone during lunch break. But I was a bit annoyed at myself that I couldn't come up with better points than what my gut came up with.

So, I was wondering if anyone in here can suggest some material/reading list on abolitionism. Bonus points for:

• Not US centric. I don't live in the US and it is obvious that the cops in the so-called united states are especially fucked up. Focusing too much on that might offer the easy way out of "good thing that's not where I live" instead of actually radically critiqueing the institution of police/prisons as an idea.
• Not too polemic. We all enjoy a little dunking. But I think that if it is too obvious that the authors are anarchists and the conclusion is obvious from the start, it lessens the impact of the prece and I feel almost manipulated. Ideally, I could give this stuff to my left-leaning mom to read, who still enjoys her scandinavian copaganda mini-series.
• Availability of an audiobook/podcast would be nice. :)

I am happy for your input, if you got any. :)
