  • The Effect of Immigration Enforcement on Crime Reporting: Evidence from Dallas*
    The Effect of Immigration Enforcement on Crime Reporting: Evidence from Dallas* Elisa Jacome´ † Stanford University September 2021 Abstract Mistrust between immigrants and the police may undermine law enforcement’s ability to keep communities safe. This paper documents that immigration policies affect an individual’s willingness to report crime. I analyze the 2015 Priority Enforcement Program, which focused immigration enforcement on individuals convicted of serious crimes and shifted resources away from immigration-related offenses. I use data from the Dallas Police Department that include a complainant’s ethnicity to show that the number of violent and property crimes reported to the police by Hispanics increased by 4 percent after the introduction of PEP. These results suggest that reducing enforcement of individuals who do not pose a threat to public safety can potentially improve trust between immigrant communities and the police. *I am grateful to Leah Boustan and Ilyana Kuziemko for considerable guidance on this project. I also thank various anonymous referees and David Neumark for their very useful feedback. Jessica Brown, Jiwon Choi, Matt Cocci, Will Dobbie, Ben Eskin, Hank Farber, Felipe Goncalves, Stephanie Kestelman, David Lee, Ale Marchetti-Bowick, Alex Mas, Steve Mello, Whitney Rosenbaum, Owen Zidar, and participants of the Princeton Industrial Relations Section Labor Lunch, Public Finance Working Group, and the Fellowship of SPIA Scholars also provided comments that greatly improved the work. Thank you also to Nicole Jackson and Lieutenant Phyllis Nobles for providing me access to Dallas Police Department data; Sue Long for help accessing data on ICE detainer requests; Chris Moriarty for a primer on ICE and PEP; Krsna Avila and the Immigrant Legal Resource Center for sharing information about whether particular jurisdictions complied with PEP as well as about meetings between ICE officers and local officials; and Soila Monroy, Sergeant Robert Munoz, and Gloria Renteria for taking the time to talk to me about police-community relations in Dallas.

Then & Now: The Relevance of Tennessee Williams for the 21st- Century Actress Marcie Danae Bealer Honors Thesis Ouachita Baptist University Spring 2009 Bealer 2 Finding a place to begin, discussing the role Tennessee Williams has played in the American Theatre is a daunting task. As a playwright Williams has "sustained dramatic power," which allow him to continue to be a large part of American Theatre, from small theatre groups to actor's workshops across the country. Williams holds a central location in the history of American Theatre (Roudane 1). Williams's impact is evidenced in that "there is no actress on earth who will not testify that Williams created the best women characters in the modem theatre" (Benedict, par 1). According to Gore Vidal, "it is widely believed that since Tennessee Williams liked to have sex with men (true), he hated women (untrue); as a result his women characters are thought to be malicious creatures, designed to subvert and destroy godly straightness" (Benedict, par.

  • IX. Surviving Free Jazz 1962-1974
    IX. Surviving Free Jazz (1962-1974) And so it came to pass that, when jazz finally reached a level of complexity on a par with classical music, many people were unhappy—not only listeners in the audience, but record com- panies who couldn’t sell the stuff and musicians who either didn’t get it or didn’t want to play it if they did. It was just too bizarre to them, yet the jazz critics almost universally fell over them- selves promoting it and, by the mid-1960s, jazz as an art form was thriving (sort of) while jazz as a commercial music was all but dead. Theodor Adorno, teaching his elitist bile out in California, was probably ecstatic. Classical music, which had also entered a new and even more convoluted phrase of development as well, was similarly struggling to find audiences, but in this case the decision-making was relatively easy. The Boards of Directors of major symphonies and opera houses simply enforced a policy of allowing only a small number of contemporary works (and, in their judgment, “contemporary” went back to Schoenberg’s and Stravinsky’s work of the 1910s) per year on their programs. You either played the accepted standard repertoire, which they would now expand to include Gustav Mahler (who had formerly been verboten), or your contract would be nullified and a new music director would be hired. From this point on, I will unfortunately have to point out the weaknesses in the aesthetics of certain musicians in certain styles in order to elucidate the forward growth of the music.
