  • Compañeras/Os to San Francisco, California to the 2015 Conference of the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS)
    Welcome compañeras/os to San Francisco, California to the 2015 conference of the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies (NACCS): This is a wonderful opportunity for us to gather in a city which has a rich Mexican, Chicano and Latino culture and history. One of my most meaningful memories was living in the San Francisco Bay Area where I taught at San José College and experienced great alliances with people who fought for access to higher education, EOP, and the development of Chicana/o Studies. Those were important days that forged my commitment for equity, inclusion, and a quest for social justice which I carry on today. My observations here extend to the state of justice both at a local and global level. I am concerned about the state of world affairs and understand that it affects all of us in distinct ways. Living in Wisconsin where struggles are happening on a day‐to‐day basis and where we can take nothing for granted, I continue to think about the lessons learned long ago as I became a seasoned advocate for people of color and for justice at the ground level. NACCS has been a central space of sustenance and renewal for me over the many years of my involvement. Presently, we are experiencing a global clash of cultures, religions, economic and political systems which are spiraling out of control. A new social political language has emerged to obfuscate the true meaning of words, to appeal to our fears and emotions, and to pander to extremism in the social, political, and religious landscapes.

  • Police Legitimacy and Citizen Coproduction: How Does Publicized Police Brutality Impact Calling the Police?
    Police Legitimacy and Citizen Coproduction: How does publicized police brutality impact calling the police? Michael Zoorob∗ August 3, 2020 Abstract Because citizen reports are the primary means that police learn of crimes, calling the police has been called the most important decision in the criminal justice system. One view of citizen-police cooperation contends that citizens report crimes to the police because they perceive the police to be legitimate. How, then, do shocks to institutional legitimacy shape the demand for police ser- vices? Analyzing 25 well-publicized cases of police brutality across 22 US cities using difference- in-differences analyses and random permutation tests, I find little evidence that police brutality incidents reduce willingness to call 911 to report crimes overall or in Black neighborhoods, con- trary to previous empirical work and some theories of citizen-police cooperation. Analyses of google search trends in impacted areas indicate substantial interest in local brutality events, me- dia reports and public opinion data indicate these events reduced police trust, and many incidents resulted in sustained protests and concrete changes in laws and policies about policing. However, demand for policing services – measured by 911 calls reporting assault, burglary, theft, and gun- shots – remained remarkably steady. Robustness tests compare acoustic measures of gunshots with citizen reports of shots fired and examine the racial composition of crime reporters before and after brutality events, providing additional evidence of no effect. In the absence of alterna- tives, citizens continue to call on police intervention to manage crime despite damaged police legitimacy.
