In Hands Up, Don’t Shoot, Jennifer Cobbina draws on in-depth interviews with nearly two hundred residents of Ferguson and Baltimore, conducted within two months of the deaths of Brown and Gray. She examines how protesters understood their experiences with the police, how those experiences influenced their perceptions of policing, what galvanized Black Lives Matter as a social movement, and how policing tactics during demonstrations influenced subsequent mobilization decisions among protesters.
“Hands Up, Don’t Shoot is such an important and timely work. With equal parts passion and theoretical nuance, and an eye on history, Cobbina makes explicit why the deaths of Michael Brown, Freddie Gray, and so many others matter so much. Her innovative research makes clear the necessity for real change in these dangerous times.”

“Jennifer Cobbina’s expertly researched examination of the interlocking dimensions of race, gender, and policing illustrates why the problem of policing in the U.S. is always about much more than policing. [It] is a clarion call for a much broader vision of justice one that relies less on crime-fighting and more on community building. This is a necessary and important book for scholars, activists, and everyday people living under oppressive policing regimes”
Nikki Jones – author of The Chosen Ones: Black Men and the Politics of Redemption
