While UCR data would eventually refute the existence of such an Effect, previous research has found that there does appear to be evidence of a perceptual belief in the Ferguson Effect among municipal officers. To date, very little research concerning officer perceptions or experiences has been conducted with campus police departments, creating a substantial gap in the research literature that this study attempted to address. Data for the current study comes from an anonymous, 22-question, web-based survey that was administered to the WMU Public Safety (WMUPS) police department.

  • And Visual and Performance Art in the Era of Extrajudicial Police Killings
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 5, No. 10; October 2015 Protesting Police Violence: “Blacklivesmatter” And Visual and Performance Art in the Era of Extrajudicial Police Killings John Paul, PhD Washburn University Departments of Sociology and Art Topeka, Kansas 66621 Introduction This visual essay is an exploration of the art, performance, and visual iconography associated with the BlackLivesMatter social movement organization.[1]Here I examine art that is used to protest and draw awareness to extrajudicial violence and the “increasingly militarized systems of killer cops…in the United States of America.”[2]In this review, secondary themes of racism, dehumanization, racial profiling and political and economic injustice will also be highlighted. Ultimately this work intertwines (and illustrates with art) stories of recent and historic episodes of state violence against unarmed black and brown citizens, and my goals with this project are several. First, I simply seek to organize, in one place, a record of visual protest against excessive policing. In particular, I am interested in what these images have to say about the use of state violence when compared and analyzed collectively. Second, via these images, I hope to explore the various ways they have been used to generate commentary and suggest explanations (as well as alternatives) to racism, police brutality, and a militarized culture within police departments. Within this second goal, I ask whose consciousness is being challenged, what social change is being sought, and how these images hope to accomplish this change. Third, I claim these images as part of the symbolic soul of the BlackLivesMatter social movement—and I explore the art directly within the movement as well as the art in the surrounding culture.[3] I begin however with conceptions of social movement activism.

  • Alicia-Garza---The-Purpose-Of-Power
    Praise for The Purpose of Power “The Purpose of Power is a must-read for those who want a better understanding of the current state of Black America. This book highlights the work necessary not only to transform the conscience of our nation but also to disrupt the policies that contribute to systemic racism so we can successfully build a country where Black lives matter. Alicia Garza has created a guidebook for building coalitions to bring about transformational change. By combining activism with electoral politics, she is reflecting the influence of the strength and brilliance of her late mother, who I know is smiling down from on high with pride and love. As we face challenging times in our nation, anyone interested in turning the page of our contemptible past toward a brighter future should put this book on their reading list.” —CONGRESSWOMAN BARBARA LEE “Alicia Garza has articulated the aspiration of generations of Black people to be valued, protected, respected, and free. This beautiful, important, and timely memoir is insightful, compelling, and necessary in this critical moment of reckoning with our history.” —BRYAN STEVENSON, author of Just Mercy “ ‘Black lives matter’ was Alicia Garza’s love letter read around the world. The Purpose of Power is another love letter that should be read around the world. It speaks to all that molded Garza, all that molds organizers, all that molds movements. It is story. It is lesson. It is power.” —IBRAM X. KENDI, author of How to Be an Antiracist “Damn. The Purpose of Power changes everything. I suppose I shouldn’t be shocked at this book’s audacity, because it’s written by a young Black woman who literally changed everything.

  • Philly Officer Caught on Video Hitting Woman
    March 2015 Newsletter Events from February 2015 Friday February 27, 2015 LD Consulting held a winter training luncheon in Phoenix. Attendees rated the training as excellent with timely information for law enforcement professionals. For those who could not attend below is a recap. There were four sessions and a great BBQ lunch. The first session was by Detective Sam Palmer of the Phoenix Police Department. Sam demonstrated how social media can be used to obtain a wealth of information on people through a great intro video. He also went live and demonstrated software available to identify social web activity in our area, during the class, which was very impressive. Sam provided attendees with websites available to develop intel from social media. As I have stated before, if your agency is not using social media, you are missing out. Sam teaches a three day class on social media for law enforcement and can be contacted at [email protected] . Officer Rob Ferraro of the Tempe Police Department gave a presentation on law enforcement dealing with the mentally ill. He did a great job of presenting the current environment regarding use of force (UOF) and the mentally ill, and spoke of DOJ involvement in the issue, with regard to the Portland Oregon consent decree. He also provided attendees with some great local resources for law enforcement and had several individuals from those agencies present to meet those in attendance. Lt. Phil Fortner of the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) provided an in depth look at the federal court order for the agency resulting from the Melendres decision, regarding racial profiling.
