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 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 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 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 609 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?
Book Synopsis Minefields and Miracles by : Ruth Broyde Sharone
Download or read book Minefields and Miracles written by Ruth Broyde Sharone and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2012-04-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Minefields and Miracles: Why God and Allah Need to Talk"--A captivating memoir and colorful overview of the interfaith movement. Seeking a way to promote mutual respect among people of widely divergent beliefs, Ruth Broyde Sharone takes on grass-roots interfaith engagement as her personal and global mission. Strong in her Jewish faith, yet close to Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists and others, Ruth has a passionate need to see the "other " and "the stranger" as friend and fellow traveler. Highly regarded and respected for her interfaith activities, the book garnered endorsements from more than 30 global leaders of many faiths, including H.H. the Dalai Lama. "The world needs more narratives of how faith can be a bridge of cooperation, rather than a barrier of division. I deeply thank Ruth Broyde Sharone for sharing her inspiring stories of bridge-building around the world," writes Eboo Patel, Founder & President, Interfaith Youth Core. Ruth's "wake-up call" occurs during her college years. After detailing her first painful encounter with religious discrimination, Ruth goes on to describe her courageous sojourn alone as a 21-year-old traversing the length and breadth of Latin America. Few young women were allowed that freedom. She emerges from that trip strongly identifying with the Latin American people and culture, and with a keen desire to explore the rest of the world. First a journalist, then a documentary filmmaker, Ruth travels in Europe and later spends 10 years making films in Israel, where she encounters the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict, a conflict that continues to haunt her even when she returns to the States. Ruth explains how, after marriage and motherhood, she is transformed into a passionate interfaith advocate--often at her own expense. She joins forces with a Black female minister to organize interfaith pilgrimages to the Middle East. Following 9/11 she is invited to screen her award-winning film, God and Allah Need to Talk, at the 2004 Parliament of the World's Religions gathering in Barcelona, Spain. In Barcelona she experiences her first taste of "interfaith paradise," which inspires her to intensify her interfaith activities around the globe. Brimming with photographs of her journeys--from California to Argentina, from Africa to India, from Italy to Green Bay, the book also includes historical photos of the remarkable individuals from around the world who participated in the first Parliament of the World's Religions in Chicago in 1893. Says Pulitzer Prize winning author Jack Miles, "Readers will instantly connect with this open-hearted, often touching, occasionally hilarious, and always disarmingly personal account of inter-religious adventures and misadventures." Through Ruth we begin to understand the inner life of the peacemakers and boundary-crossers who walk among us--many recruited by Ruth as she travels and speaks extensively in churches, mosques, synagogues and universities. Yes, there are minefields along the way--and Broyde Sharone describes them clearly, seeking to learn the causes. She describes the miracles, too, as when 250 people representing 13 religious communities gather in 2011 in Los Angeles to celebrate a Festival of Freedom Seder, honoring the promise of the Arab Spring. "We are now at the tipping point," Broyde Sharone declares at the end of her compelling book. She offers vivid and concrete examples of the expansion of the global interfaith web. "Ruth is a master storyteller, traversing the world, making films, weaving webs of connection, and inspiring us to do the same. She epitomizes what people mean when they ask us to become the change we want to see in the world. Read her book."--Rev. Paul Chaffee, Editor, "The Interfaith Observer" A set of questions for discussion is included at the end of the book

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shortlisted for Columbia Journalism School’s J. Anthony Lukas Prize A Publishers Lunch NonFiction Buzz Book| Named Most Anticipated by Los Angeles Times A leading authority on sheriffs investigates the impunity with which they police their communities, alongside the troubling role they play in American life, law enforcement, and, increasingly, national politics. The figure of the American sheriff has loomed large in popular imagination, though given the outsize jurisdiction sheriffs have over people’s lives, the office of sheriffs remains a gravely under-examined institution. Locally elected, largely unaccountable, and difficult to remove, the country’s over three thousand sheriffs, mostly white men, wield immense power—making arrests, running county jails, enforcing evictions and immigration laws—with a quarter of all U.S. law enforcement officers reporting to them. In recent years there’s been a revival of “constitutional sheriffs,” who assert that their authority supersedes that of legislatures, courts, and even the president. They’ve protested federal mask and vaccine mandates and gun regulations, railed against police reforms, and, ultimately, declared themselves election police, with many endorsing the “Big Lie” of a stolen presidential election. They are embraced by far-right militia groups, white nationalists, the Claremont Institute, and former president Donald Trump, who sees them as allies in mass deportation and border policing. How did a group of law enforcement officers decide that they were “above the law?” What are the stakes for local and national politics, and for America as a multi-racial democracy? Blending investigative reporting, historical research, and political analysis, author Jessica Pishko takes us to the roots of why sheriffs have become a flashpoint in the current politics of toxic masculinity, guns, white supremacy, and rural resentment, and uncovers how sheriffs have effectively evaded accountability since the nation’s founding. A must-read for fans of Michelle Alexander, Gilbert King, Elizabeth Hinton, and Kathleen Belew.

Download or read book The Homeboy Way written by Thomas Vozzo and published by Loyola Press. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2023 Illumination Book Awards Gold Medalist, Inspirational 2023 Independent Press Awards Distinguished Favorite, Business - Motivational 2023 Catholic Media Association Book Awards, Honorable Mention, Catholc Social Teaching Leading with heart, authenticity and purpose, Thomas Vozzo provides a clear path to a new bottom line—including 55 rules to break—bringing the Homeboy Way to life as the perfect anecdote to the massive tidal currents of social injustice and inequities. By every traditional measurement of success, Vozzo was a clear winner. In his world of billion-dollar revenues and million-dollar profits, he knew exactly what shareholders wanted and how to get it for them. Then, through a series of fateful events, Vozzo landed as CEO of Homeboy Industries, the most successful gang intervention, rehabilitation, and re-entry program in the country, founded by Jesuit priest Greg Boyle. “I arrived at Homeboy at a time when I needed to learn more about myself and my life’s journey,” Vozzo writes. “And after 8 years of working with the poor, forgotten, and demonized people of our society, I’ve come to learn that I didn’t really know as much about life as I thought.” Vozzo’s enlightening journey leads to his recognition that a radical approach is needed in business and in life: “What Homeboy has taught me is that we need to do business differently . . . . We need to bust up the system, swim upstream, avoid herd mentality.” Blending personal stories of his day-to-day with Fr. Greg and the Homies along with counterintuitive business ideas that are changing lives for the better, Vozzo shows you how you can live, lead, and shake things up with toughness, determination, compassion, and grit. That’s the Homeboy Way. 100% of author royalties go to support the mission of Homeboy Industries.
