[ExI] that's why

[Dan TheBookMan]

Minneapolis will, if it actually disbanded its police force, not be the first place to ever do so. In some cases, this has meant merely getting rid of them to rebuild them along new lines, as in Camden, New Jersey, US. In others, like Blandford, Massachusetts, policing was outsourced to another police department.

It’s a bit dated, but Bruce Benson examined cases where full privatization took place in his _The Enterprise of Law: Justice without the State_. I don’t have a copy handy and I haven’t read his newer work in this area.

I'm curious to see what Minneapolis will look like if the council gets its way in completely disbanding the police force (and not replacing it with a reformed one).
