UCLA UCLA Electronic Theses and Dissertations Title "Expert" Racism: Police, politicians, the wealthy, and the production of racial boundaries in a Los Angeles neighborhood and beyond Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7gx279fz Author Muniz, Ana Publication Date 2012 Peer reviewed|Thesis/dissertation eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “Expert” Racism: Police, politicians, the wealthy, and the production of racial boundaries in a Los Angeles neighborhood and beyond A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Ana Muniz 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “Expert” Racism: Police, politicians, the wealthy, and the production of racial boundaries in a Los Angeles neighborhood and beyond by Ana Muniz Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2012 Professor Stefan Timmermans, Chair My primary research question is: how do people in positions of power or with extensive resources at their disposal use information to control socially “deviant” groups and shape the physical geography of the city? I present four case studies that reconstruct the process of knowledge creation and the role of knowledge collection in both force and management in the areas of gang injunctions, broken windows/order maintenance policing, zoning, and development. The first three case studies focus on the Los Angeles neighborhood of Cadillac- Corning. I explore how housing development and school enrollment created the neighborhood’s boundaries in the 1960s. I address the puzzle of why how this small neighborhood came to be exceptional compared to the rest of the area in which it sits in terms of housing, demographics, ii stigmatization, and disproportionate policing. -
2015 Annual Conference Attendees 68
October 4, 2015 Dear NACOLE Conference Attendee: On behalf of NACOLE, its Board of Directors, members, and staff, I welcome you to Riverside and our Twenty-first Annual NACOLE Conference. We are excited to be in Riverside. The theme of this year’s conference, Many Roads to Reform, challenges us to recognize the different tools available to the different actors who are all working towards the same goal, that of reform. There is strength in having diverse approaches, and with openness and accountability, they benefit from each other. The theme also cautions against judging the performance of one by the standard you would apply to another. The conference opens Sunday afternoon with a gathering for first-time attendees, new members, and those interested in NACOLE’s Mentoring Program at 2:00 p.m., followed by our opening reception at 6:00 p.m. This year’s conference continues from there with a wide variety of workshops and panels, including sessions on de- escalation, community participation in oversight, body cameras, police shootings, implicit bias, racial reconciliation, prosecuting police misconduct, and building a roadmap to community trust. Additionally, the entire program incorporates NACOLE’s Core Competencies and all of the sessions can be applied toward the Certified Practitioner of Oversight program. NACOLE is delighted to welcome this year’s conference Keynote Speaker Vanita Gupta, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General and head of the Civil Rights Division at the United States Department of Justice. Under her leadership, the Division continues its crucially important work in a number of areas, including advancing constitutional policing and other criminal justice reforms. -
