Book Synopsis Sheriff Lee Baca by : Karen Richardson
Download or read book Sheriff Lee Baca written by Karen Richardson and published by Barbera Foundation. This book was released on with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonconformist former Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca exemplifies how one can overcome adversity through grit, faith, and education and offers hope for improved relations between law enforcement and disenfranchised communities. Sheriff Lee Baca explores the complicated history of law enforcement and race relations in Los Angeles—the Zoot Suit, Watts, and Rodney King riots—juxtaposed against the life and career of the four-time-elected sheriff. Abandoned by his undocumented mother and raised by his grandparents in an East Los Angeles barrio, where he cared for his disabled uncle, it seemed inconceivable that Baca would one day command the largest sheriff’s department in the country and earn the respect of national and world leaders. With his honorable service to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department from 1965 to 2014 too often overshadowed by sensational headlines and soundbites, few know of the far-reaching and enduring innovations Baca brought to law enforcement, including unprecedented transparency; education-based incarceration; public-trust policing; global outreach; the recruitment of women, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color; and more. At a time when communities are considering defunding police departments and district attorneys fail to prosecute, Sheriff Lee Baca is a timely must-read.
Book Synopsis Business Is Booming for the Sheriff at Los Angeles County Jail by : Emmanuel Adetula
Download or read book Business Is Booming for the Sheriff at Los Angeles County Jail written by Emmanuel Adetula and published by . This book was released on 2013-06-11 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about my six days experience in Los Angeles County Jail, for your records my Los Angeles County jail booking number is 3577362, Compton Court case number is TA12845801 and Case number TA128458. Civil case filed by me after release from bail at Downey Courthouse number is 13D94845 seeking damages for forceful eviction, property seizure, conspiracy, defamation of character, intentional infringement of bodily pain/injury, fabrication of lies and distortion of facts to make a wrongful arrest and unjust imprisonment for 6 days in Los Angeles County jail .What did I do that led to my arrest ?, What was my experience with my fellow inmates?, How did I got out of jail?, What was my crime ? , What was the Charge against me by the District Attorney at the Compton Courthouse? , And what did I learnt from this experience? Just like I did in my past 25 books I left no stone unturned again in this book. This book does not just give you answer about my six days experience in jail, it also supplied a fundamental truth to one question on the minds of all Americans, "Why do we have too many Blacks and Latino in jails in California? Why is it that African America women are single mothers and the Black Children fathers are nowhere to be found? How much percentage of inmates actually committed the crimes that put them behind bars for years in California? , What role does first, second and third strike contributes in overpopulating California prisons? This book answers a lot of these questions and more!This book contains details of the letter that I wrote to Honorable Jackie Lacey, the Los Angeles County District Attorney; this same letter was also copy to American Civil Liberties Union, Leroy David "Lee" Baca - the Sheriff of Los Angeles County, Administrative Office of the Courts-Burbank, Sup. Courts- California, FBI, Assistant Director in Charge - Bill L. Lewis, The Clerk- Superior Court of California- County of Los Angeles-Compton Courthouse. I was arrested on 5/30/13, got out on 6/5/13 and wrote this letter the night that I got out, so this is not a book per see, but a copy of a letter to the public, therefore do not mind my English because this letter did not go through a copy editor and a professional book proofreader. Do not mind my vernacular English, God does not give me the spirit of fear but the gifts of writing and sound mind, and I will not let the inability to write with English grammar correctness, the right wordings, spelling, punctuation, capitalization, full stops or commas as you would expect of me like your English Professor to stop me from writing my own experience of life. I will do my best to make myself understood, and I believe the simplicity of my writings will make a lot of people to enjoy this book, though it may not demonstrate a high level of English writing proficiency but it contains powerful truths and give answers to the questions in the minds of millions of our people.

Book excerpt: This account of the struggle to bring law and order to a city rich with gold rush money, at odds with Mexican bandits, and teeming with forty-niners and confederate sympathizers chronicles the chaotic early days of Los Angeles, which boasted the highest homicide rate in America by 1850. From profiles of the frontier-style lawmen hired to stop the initial mayhem to an analysis of the city's modern sheriff's office -- the largest in America -- this book draws comparisons between the uproar of the early days, the racial tensions that erupted during the Watts riots, and the safety issues that preoccupy the police force today.

Book excerpt: Winner of the 2018 National Council on Crime & Delinquency’s Media for a Just Society Awards Winner of the 2017 Goddard Riverside Stephan Russo Book Prize for Social Justice “Valuable . . . [like Michelle] Alexander's The New Jim Crow.” —Los Angeles Review of Books “Susan Burton is a national treasure . . . her life story is testimony to the human capacity for resilience and recovery . . . [Becoming Ms. Burton is] a stunning memoir.” —Nicholas Kristof, in The New York Times Winner of the prestigious NAACP Image Award, a uniquely American story of trauma, incarceration, and "the breathtaking resilience of the human spirit" (Michelle Alexander) Widely hailed as a stunning memoir, Becoming Ms. Burton is the remarkable life story of the renowned activist Susan Burton. In this "stirring and moving tour-de-force" (John Legend), Susan Burton movingly recounts her own journey through the criminal justice system and her transformation into a life of advocacy. After a childhood of immense pain, poverty, and abuse in Los Angeles, the tragic loss of her son led her into addiction, which in turn led to arrests and incarceration. During the War on Drugs, Burton was arrested and would cycle in and out of prison for more than fifteen years. When, by chance, she finally received treatment, her political awakening began and she became a powerful advocate for "a more humane justice system guided by compassion and dignity" (Booklist, starred review). Her award-winning organization, A New Way of Life, has transformed the lives of more than one thousand formerly incarcerated women and is an international model for a less punitive and more effective approach to rehabilitation and reentry. Winner of an NAACP Image Award and named a "Best Book of 2017" by the Chicago Public Library, here is an unforgettable book about "the breathtaking resilience of the human spirit" (Michelle Alexander).

Book Synopsis The Lazarus Files by : Matthew McGough
Download or read book The Lazarus Files written by Matthew McGough and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A deeply-reported, riveting account of a cold case murder in Los Angeles, unsolved until DNA evidence implicated a shocking suspect – a female detective within the LAPD’s own ranks. On February 24, 1986, 29-year-old newlywed Sherri Rasmussen was murdered in the home she shared with her husband, John. The crime scene suggested a ferocious struggle, and police initially assumed it was a burglary gone awry. Before her death, Sherri had confided to her parents that an ex-girlfriend of John’s, a Los Angeles police officer, had threatened her. The Rasmussens urged the LAPD to investigate the ex-girlfriend, but the original detectives only pursued burglary suspects, and the case went cold. DNA analysis did not exist when Sherri was murdered. Decades later, a swab from a bite mark on Sherri’s arm revealed her killer was in fact female, not male. A DNA match led to the arrest and conviction of veteran LAPD Detective Stephanie Lazarus, John’s onetime girlfriend. The Lazarus Files delivers the visceral experience of being inside a real-life murder mystery. McGough reconstructs the lives of Sherri, John and Stephanie; the love triangle that led to Sherri’s murder; and the homicide investigation that followed. Was Stephanie protected by her fellow officers? What did the LAPD know, and when did they know it? Are there other LAPD cold cases with a police connection that remain unsolved?
