What happens when the people given the power to enforce the rules stop being held to the same rules themselves? The Zero-Sum Trap examines the uncomfortable relationship between policing, authority, accountability, and the systems designed to protect the public. From unnecessary escalation and questionable enforcement to dishonesty, abuse of power, and the protections that can surround those acting under the authority of the state, the book challenges readers to look beyond individual incidents and examine the system that makes them possible. This is not an argument against policing. It is an argument about what should come with the extraordinary power policing requires. Because authority should never mean less accountability. It should demand more. The Zero-Sum Trap asks the question at the center of it all: Who holds the people responsible for holding everyone else accountable?
