Book Synopsis Black Police, White Society by : Steven Leinen
Download or read book Black Police, White Society written by Steven Leinen and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1985-04 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an historical overview of black police in the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and the working conditions experienced by black police officers in the NYPD today, based on interviews with 46 officers. The historical overview looks at the accomplishments and failures of black police officers in terms of the racial barriers they faced regarding promotion and career advancement. It considers the social, political, and legal events of the 1960's and early 1970's that have shaped the present character of American race relations in general and police race relations in particular. Data are presented documenting the attempts made by organized black police groups and the courts to redress officers' racial problems. Particular attention is given to the efforts of the Guardians Association in New York City to establish through the Federal courts a racial quota system in hiring and promotion. The interviews portray the gains officers have made over the past few years. The working relationships between white and black police officers are explored, with special attention devoted to the variable nature of police race relations. The final section examines the social variables and processes involved in police relations with the black community. Traditional causes of conflict between blacks and police are identified; the impact of adding more blacks to the police force in the early 1970's and assigning them to racially sensitive areas of the city is considered. Specific views are presented on the issues of 'integrated police precincts' and 'working teams.' The last chapter addresses the various meanings policing seems to hold for black officers as well as the black community. Particular attention is focused on those problems which police (both black and white) routinely confront in attempting to reconcile their work role with the expectations black citizens attach to police. Black youth and black offenders are also discussed.

Book Synopsis Police Funding, Dark Money, and the Greedy Institution by : Randy K. Lippert
Download or read book Police Funding, Dark Money, and the Greedy Institution written by Randy K. Lippert and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-05-05 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police Funding, Dark Money, and the Greedy Institution is about a pervasive but little-studied phenomenon. Private funding of public police entails private entities sending resources to police through unconventional or hidden channels, sometimes for suspect reasons. The book argues police acquisition of this "dark money" befits the notion of a "greedy institution" that pursues resources beyond ample public funding and needs, and seeks ever more loyal members beyond its traditional boundaries to reproduce itself. The book focuses on private police foundations, corporate sponsorships, and paid detail arrangements primarily in North America, how these funding networks operate and are framed for audiences, and the forms and volumes of capital they generate. Based on interviews with police representatives, sponsors, funders, and foundation representatives as well as records from over 100 police departments, this book examines key issues in private funding of public police, including corporatization, accountability, corruption, and the rule of law. It documents and analyzes the troubling explosion of police foundations and sponsors and corporate paid detail brokers unknown to the public as a social and policy issue and a hidden response to the global police defunding movement. The book also considers potential policy responses and community safety alternatives in a more generous society. An accessible and compelling read, students and scholars in criminology, criminal justice, law, sociology, political science, anthropology, geography, as well as policymakers, will find this timely book revealing of a neglected, growing area of police practice spanning multiple themes and jurisdictions.

Why the Police Should be Trained by Black People brings pedagogical and scholarly responsibility for policing in Black communities to life, revealing that police involved violence, community violence, and relative lived experiences do not exist in a vacuum.

This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on interviews with black, Asian and white resigners from the police, this book analyses the ways in which mundane features of employment within constabularies racialize the work of officers and leads to a decision to resign.
