Policing in Minority Communities

Vikrant Iyer

Sinopse

"Policing in Minority Communities" delves into the complex relationship between law enforcement agencies and minority communities, focusing on building trust, fairness, and inclusivity in policing practices. We examine the historical context, current challenges, and innovative strategies to improve police-community relations, particularly in communities marginalized based on race, ethnicity, religion, or socioeconomic status.
Drawing on interdisciplinary research, empirical evidence, and real-world case studies, we address critical topics such as racial profiling, bias-based policing, community engagement, and procedural justice. We explore the impact of policing strategies on minority communities and assess the effectiveness of various approaches to enhance trust, legitimacy, and accountability in law enforcement.
In addition to analyzing challenges and disparities in policing practices, we highlight promising practices, policy recommendations, and community-driven initiatives aimed at promoting equity, justice, and safety for all residents. We underscore the importance of collaborative partnerships, cultural competence, and accountability mechanisms in fostering positive police-community relations and addressing systemic inequities in the criminal justice system.
Written for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders, "Policing in Minority Communities" provides valuable insights and actionable strategies for improving police-community relations, advancing social justice, and building stronger, more resilient communities. By examining the intersection of policing, race, and social inequality, we offer a comprehensive framework for addressing the complex challenges and opportunities in contemporary law enforcement practices.

Policing White Supremacy - The...

Mike German, Beth Zasloff

In Policing White Supremacy, former FBI agent Mike German, who worked undercover in white supremacist and militia groups, issues a wake-up call about law enforcement's dangerously lax approach to far-right violence. 
 
 
 
Despite over a hundred deadly acts by far-right militants since the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, and the far right's attempts to obstruct transfer of power to a duly elected president on January 6, the FBI continues to deprioritize investigations into white supremacist violence, instead targeting marginalized groups. 
 
 
 
Noting that the FBI does not even compile accurate national data on white supremacist violence, German also exposes the continuing tolerance of overt racism in law enforcement, and police membership in white supremacist organizations. The threat these officers pose became clear when at least twenty-eight current and former law enforcement officials were alleged to have participated in the 2021 Capitol breach. 
 
 
 
Policing White Supremacy shows how the lack of transparency and accountability in federal, state, and local law enforcement has eroded public trust and undermined democracy. "Law Enforcement's Role in Resisting White Supremacy" points the way forward to a future where far-right violence is recognized and addressed as the true threat it presents to our country.

Maria Child, who edited the book for its author. Jacobs used the pseudonym Linda Brent. The book documents Jacobs's life as a slave and how she gained freedom for herself and for her children.

She explores the struggles and sexual abuse that female slaves faced on plantations as well as their efforts to practice motherhood and protect their children when their children might be sold away.In the book, Jacobs addresses white Northern women who fail to comprehend the evils of slavery. She makes direct appeals to their humanity to expand their knowledge and influence their thoughts about slavery as an institution.Jacobs began composing Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl after her escape to New York, while living and working at Idlewild, the Hudson River home of writer and publisher Nathaniel Parker Willis. Portions of her journals were published in serial form in the New-York Tribune, owned and edited by Horace Greeley. Jacobs's reports of sexual abuse were deemed too shocking for the average newspaper reader of the day, and publication ceased before the completion of the narrative.Notable works Harriet Ann Jacobs: Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl (1861).
