  • New York State of Mind
    New York State of Mind: Policing Terrorism in the Empire City James R. Honsa Advisors: Professors Coit D. Blacker and Phillip Taubman Center for International Security and Cooperation Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies Stanford University May 2014 ii! Abstract What factors explain the New York Police City Department’s (NYPD) post-9/11 counterterrorism reforms? The conventional narrative suggests that New York’s counterterrorism strategy has been a direct reaction to the events of September 11th, with the NYPD adapting to address new threats and vulnerabilities. While necessary, this 9/11-centric explanation is insufficient in understanding the scope, scale, and tactics of the NYPD’s counterterrorism strategy. Instead, the evidence suggests that imprinted institutional norms and path dependence within New York policymaking shaped the Department’s response to terrorism. Dating back to the Progressive Era, New York has demonstrated a bureaucratic bias towards internalizing national priorities, resulting in reforms that are consistently at the vanguard of policing tactics. To advance this institutional argument, this thesis will analyze three key NYPD decision- making nodes: the reformation of a dedicated Intelligence Division, a legal battle to increase the Department’s ability to gather intelligence, and the establishment of a controversial “Demographics Unit.” At all three junctures, the evidence indicates that policymaking was propelled by a bureaucratic tendency to align reforms with national priorities, effectively ‘localizing’ a federal agenda. As a city teeming with strong-willed personalities, this forward-leaning institutional norm was bolstered by a cohort of policy entrepreneurs, eager to buck traditional notions of the role of local policymaking in a federal system.

CHIN ED., 1997) PAUL CHEVIGNY* INTRODUCTION The New York City Police Department ("NYPD") is one of the most discussed police departments in the world. At the present time, for example, its ambassadors, including former commissioner William Bratton, are deployed over the globe, explaining "quality of life policing," and why they believe it works. It is successful, per­ haps, because it resembles one of the oldest versions of policing, from which the word "police" itself derives: officials maintain an air of omniscience and a sense of order by pursuing every infraction and tolerating no deviation. Inspector Javert, in Victor Hugo's Les Miserables, is the ideal of "zero tolerance" policing.

Mary Kay Vyskocil and Ilya Schwartzburg Table of Contents I. County Introductory Essay II. Timeline III. County Courthouses IV. The Bench V. The Bar VI. County Trials VII. County Resources 1 10/23/2014 I. County Introductory Essay (Origins & History) Rockland legal history closely tracks the history of the county itself. For most of its history, Rockland was a relatively rural region. Its proximity to New York City and location on the Hudson River eventually spurred industry and then suburbanization. Rockland’s history can be split into three general phases: first, the colonial period until the mid-19th century when Rockland was wholly agricultural and sparsely populated; second, the mid-19th century until the mid-20th century when Rockland benefited from highway and railroad infrastructure that brought industry and part-time residential interest from New York City inhabitants; finally, the mid-20th century until the present when convenient car traffic to the city and the area has become possible and the county has become quite the sprawling suburb. Rockland County was only formally created in 1798, but the area that now constitutes it was originally settled much earlier. Rockland was part of a greater area that included most of what is now Orange County. In 1683, this was all considered Orange County and the county seat was Tappan. There were fits and starts at settlement during Dutch rule, but tension with the native Lenni-Lenape people hampered it.

  • A History of NYC in 30 Objects Presented by the Summer 2012 Student Historians
    NEW-YORK HISTORICAL SOCIETY MUSEUM & LIBRARY A History of NYC in 30 Objects Presented by the Summer 2012 Student Historians 8/16/2012 A History of New York in 30 Objects: The New-York Historical Society, one of America’s pre-eminent cultural institutions, is dedicated to fostering research, presenting history and art exhibitions, and public programs that reveal the dynamism of history and its influence on the world of today. Founded in 1804, New-York Historical has a mission to explore the richly layered political, cultural and social history of New York City and State and the nation, and to serve as a national forum for the discussion of issues surrounding the making and meaning of history. Student Historians are high school interns at New-York Historical who investigate pieces from our vast museum and library collection, conduct research using the resources available to them within a museum setting, and collaborate on an education-minded project. This summer, our 30 Student Historians, representing NYC and the surrounding metropolitan area, are pleased to present their original project A History of New York City in 30 Objects . Inspired in part by A History of the World in 100 Objects, a collaborative project of BBC Radio 4 and the British Museum, and also a current New-York Historical project to tell the history of the Civil War in 50 objects, this summer’s group of Student Historians each chose an artifact to reveal a piece of NYC’s rich history. When pieced together, the 30 artifacts selected create a patchwork of NYC events, figures, and turning points that not only expose intriguing stories of NYC’s past, but also the varied interests of the 30 Student Historians conducting the research.

Gibson It has been nearly sixty years since Theodore Roosevelt died in 1919, yet he remains one of the most colorful and controversial characters in American history. Considering his many and varied accomplishments, it is understandable how he would attract a host of biographers. Not surprisingly, however, the bulk of Roosevelt litera- ture deals with his White House years. At present there is no adequate account of Roosevelt's views on criminal justice or his two year tenure as President of the New York City Board of Police Commissioners. The purpose of this thesis is to examine these aspects of Roosevelt's life. In addition to all major Roosevelt biographies, scholarly secondary works and newspapers of the period, the official Reports of the New York City Police Depart- ment of 1896 and 1897 and the materials housed in the Theo- dore Roosevelt Memorial Association Library at Harvard University have been examined.

The gold box, encased in the wood of a cedar tree which has been planted on Andre’s grave in Tappan, after being lost for many years, was returned to the custody of the Demarest-Blauvelt Foundation through the efforts of Hiram Blau- velt, following a search which led to Minot, North Dakota. A PRE-BICENTENNIAL PROGRAM On August 15th, our Society, in collaboration with the Tappantown Society and the Westchester County Historical Socieiy, sponsored a 150th anniversary commemoration of the disinterment of Major John Andre at Tappan for reinter­ ment in Westminster Abbey on November 28, 1821. Three years earlier, in 1818, the British and United States governments had co-operated in arranging to remove the remains of General Richard Montgomery, the American general killed at Quebec, to a final resting place in St. Paul’s Cemetery, New York City. Dr. Robert W.
