Abolition Feminism and the 1994 Crime Bill

Angela Davis introduced the concept of "abolition feminism," which opposes "carceral feminism" that relies on police and prisons to solve violence against women. She specifically targeted Joe Biden’s 1994 Crime Bill and the Violence Against Women Act as institutional failures. Davis argued that true safety requires a total revolution of the social, economic, and political future.
