Out in “The Numbers”: Youth and Gang Violence Initiatives and Uneven Development in Portland’s Periphery by Dirk Kinsey A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography Thesis Committee: Barbara Brower, Chair Hunter Shobe Nathan McClintock Portland State University 2016 © 2016 Dirk Kinsey Abstract Incidence of youth and gang violence in the Portland, Oregon metro area has increased dramatically over the past five years. This violence has recently become more spatially diffuse, shifting outwards from gentrified, inner city neighborhoods, towards the city’s periphery. These incidents exist within the context of a shifting regional political economy, characterized by a process of gentrification associated displacement and growing, and distinctly racicalized and spatialized, inequalities. While gang researchers have long argued a corollary between the emergence of gangs and economically and culturally polarized urban landscapes, the ongoing suburbanization of poverty in American cities suggests a new landscape of uneven power differentials playing out between disenfranchised youth and those seeking to police and prevent violence. This paper provides a critical examination of how local agencies charged with addressing youth and gang violence are responding to shifts in the landscape of violence and navigating the inequitable distribution of wealth and resources in the “progressive” city. Drawing on interviews conducted with police, policy makers and gang outreach workers, I investigate both perceptions of gentrification’s role in youth and gang violence and the spacialities of emerging enforcement and prevention efforts. My findings suggest that prevention and enforcement efforts frequently rely on techniques and models designed to replicate conditions in older, gentrified neighborhoods, while perhaps unwittingly reifying existing inequalities. Ultimately, I hope to reveal some of the links, both at macro- i structural levels and those of daily practice, between a shifting political economy and emerging forms of suburban policing. ii Dedication This thesis is dedicated to those who have lost their lives to youth and gang violence in Multnomah County and to the families and communities who continue to live with those losses. iii Acknowledgements Many people have helped bring this project to fruition. Firstly, I must acknowledge the support of my family through my schooling. They have, and continue, to encourage me on this path that I have chosen for myself, regardless of how long and circuitous it may be. Dr. Barbara Brower has been immensely patient and supportive in this process and has always provided me with thoughtful and challenging feedback. Without her this project would have never seen the light of day. Dr. Hunter Shobe has always taken the time to offer feedback and guided and supported me through the writing process. Dr. Nathan McClintock served to push me in directions that challenged my pre-conceptions and deepened my analysis at every turn. I am extremely thankful to all of them. iv Table of Contents Abstract ……………………………………………………………………i Dedication ……………………………………………………...…………iii Acknowledgements.……………………………………………………... iv List of Tables …….……………………………...……………………….vii List of Figures..……...…………………………………………………...viii List of Abbreviations …………………………………………………......ix Introduction….………………………………………………………… ….1 Chapter I: Understanding Gangs in Context ……………………………..10 Defining Gangs………………………………………………………… ..10 Gangs Historically ………………………………………………………12 The Growth of US Gangs in the Twentieth Century.............................. 14 The Emergence of West Coast Gangs…………,….…………………. 15 Gangs and the Contemporary Urban Context...…….…………………… 22 Chapter II: Gangs and Geographies of Urban Inequity……………..........25 Why are there gangs? …………………………………………………….25 Social Disorganization …………………………………………………26 The Adaptation Model …………………………………………………27 Geographies of Urban Inequity ………………………………………….29 Uneven Development ………………………………………………….30 Restructuring of Urban Economics and Governance …………………32 Planning Histories ……………………………………………………...36 Chapter III: Chapter 3: Policing and Social Service Provisions …………38 Geographies of Policing ………………………………………………..40 Social Service Provisions, “The Shadow State”, and Local Governance………………………………………………….45 Chapter IV: Geographies of Poverty and Race, and the Emergence of Gangs in Multnomah County …………………………………………..48 Multnomah County’s Gang Geographies as Geographies of Poverty and Race ……………………………………………………48 Albina …………………………………………………………………..48 The Columbia Villa Projects …………………………………………...51 East Portland & Gresham ……………………………………...............53 v The Emergence of Gangs and Gang Control in Multnomah County …..55 Chapter V:Findings ………………………………………………………62 County and Municipal Institutions……………………………………….63 Social Service Providers………………………………………………….65 Law Enforcement……………………………………………… ………...66 Coordination and Collaboration ………………………………………….68 Coordination and Collaboration, and the Improved Ability to Provide Services……………………………………………………..71 Coordination and Collaboration as Spatial Control ……………………72 Community Participation .……………………………………………...75 Discussion ……………………………………………………………...80 Relocation………………………………………………………………...82 Mapping…………….…………………………………………………..86 Discussion………………………………………………………………89 Perceptions of Gentrification……………………………………………..91 Disruption of Violence Prevention Efforts …………………………….92 Disruption of Existing gang Structures ………………………………...94 Disruption of Neighborhood Social Structure………………………….96 Discussion………………………………………………………………97 Chapter VI: Conclusion………………………………………………....100 References ………………………………………………………………105 Appendices A.

The shooting, at a popular outdoor arts event in Northeast Portland, on what has been regarded as a thoroughly gentrified street, NE Alberta, came as a surprise. The shooter, a teenager who lived in neighboring suburb, but with family ties to the neighborhood, was sixteen years old. He fired at a stranger who, he would later state, he thought was “eying him” (Park 2015,n.p.), missing him and hitting two fifteen-year-old boys and a twenty-five-year- old woman. The “tensions” in the title were manifested in the actions of customers at an upscale ice cream parlor. Images of couples taking selfies with police tape in the background and the vocal complaints of patrons over the police’s insistence that the business close shop temporarily became the fodder for social media indignation (Park 2015). These responses reflected ambivalence to the lives of those involved in the shooting and a perceived lack of historical context. This incident became an illustration of the way in which the gains of gentrification had not been experienced evenly throughout the community. 1 Figure 1. Density of "Shots Fired" Calls for Service in Multnomah County (Local Public Safety Coordinating Council 2014) Nearly a year later a second shooting provides further insight into violence plaguing the Portland area: A birthday party at the Rosewood Initiative Community Center was interrupted by gunfire

The goal is to analyze the context with a focus on Eric's killing by the police, as well as how the case developed and gained public outcry. From this initial investigation, it works with the Black Lives Matter movement, its origin, organization and objectives. It analyses the various outlines that Eric's case has taken over the years and his contribution to the movement, with emphasis on police brutality and its progress over the last few years. Finally, it explores this context of death and protest through Philip Zimbardo's total situation theory.

INTRODUCTION The intersection of race and criminal law and enforcement has recently received considerable attention in US media, academic, and public policy discussions. Media outlets, for example, have extensively covered a series of incidents involving the killing of unarmed black males by law enforcement and private citizens. These cases include the killing of Michael Brown, John Crawford, III, Jordan Davis, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, and Tamir Rice.1 Reports * Stephen C.

    Chapter 1 The Emergence of Gangs in the United States— Then and Now CHAPTER OBJECTIVES î Examine the emergence of gangs in the United States. î Explore where gangs from New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles first emerged. î Identify the differences and similarities between each regions growth of gangs. î Examine the emergence of Black and Hispanic/Latino gangs. î Describe the newest gang trends throughout the United States. “The Cat’s Alleys,” the Degraw Street Gang, the Sackett Street gang, “The Harrisons,” the Bush Street Gang, and 21 other boys’ gangs were the subjects of a report of the New York State Crime Commission which told, last week, of its findings in the Red Hook section of Brooklyn. The boys who comprise the gangs have to undergo rigorous initiations before being qualified for membership. In one of the more exclusive gangs initiates, usually aged about nine, have to drink twelve glasses of dago-red wine and have a revolver pressed into their temples while they take the pledge.

  • Blue Lives Matter
    COP FRAGILITY AND BLUE LIVES MATTER Frank Rudy Cooper* There is a new police criticism. Numerous high-profile police killings of unarmed blacks between 2012–2016 sparked the movements that came to be known as Black Lives Matter, #SayHerName, and so on. That criticism merges race-based activism with intersectional concerns about violence against women, including trans women. There is also a new police resistance to criticism. It fits within the tradition of the “Blue Wall of Silence,” but also includes a new pro-police movement known as Blue Lives Matter. The Blue Lives Matter movement makes the dubious claim that there is a war on police and counter attacks by calling for making assaults on police hate crimes akin to those address- ing attacks on historically oppressed groups. Legal scholarship has not comprehensively considered the impact of the new police criticism on the police. It is especially remiss in attending to the implications of Blue Lives Matter as police resistance to criticism. This Article is the first to do so. This Article illuminates a heretofore unrecognized source of police resistance to criticism by utilizing diversity trainer and New York Times best-selling author Robin DiAngelo’s recent theory of white fragility. “White fragility” captures many whites’ reluctance to discuss ongoing rac- ism, or even that whiteness creates a distinct set of experiences and per- spectives. White fragility is based on two myths: the ideas that one could be an unraced and purely neutral individual—false objectivity—and that only evil people perpetuate racial subordination—bad intent theory. Cop fragility is an analogous oversensitivity to criticism that blocks necessary conversations about race and policing.

  • Today: Oral Arguments in Lawsuit Seeking Independent Court Investigation Into De Blasio & NYC Officials' Neglect and Viola
    Today: Oral Arguments in Lawsuit Seeking Independent Court Investigation into de Blasio & NYC Officials’ Neglect and Violation of Duties Related to Eric Garner’s Killing New York, NY - Oral arguments in Carr v. de Blasio will resume today, Monday, August 10 at 11:45 a.m. EDT. Oral arguments were initially scheduled for August 4th, but were cut short after a de Blasio attorney lost power during the hearing. The hearing was scheduled to resume August 5th, but the City requested an adjournment to a later date, citing that the de Blasio attorney did not expect to have power restored in his home by August 5th. Today’s arguments will be livestreamed to the public. The lawsuit was brought in August 2019 by Gwen Carr and Ellisha Flagg Garner, the mother and sister of Eric Garner, and members of Communities United for Police Reform (CPR). The lawsuit seeks an independent court investigation into neglect and violation of duties by NYC Mayor de Blasio and other city officials related to government actions (and inactions) surrounding the NYPD killing of Eric Garner. About 30 minutes following the hearing, the Garner family will join CPR representatives and the attorneys for a virtual press availability on zoom (Zoom dial-in for the post-hearing below). The de Blasio administration has painted Black Lives Matter on city streets and the mayor himself even posted a video on the six year anniversary of Garner’s death celebrating his response to the killing and saying “Eric Garner’s death should never have happened.” And yet today his administration is fighting justice and impeding the will of the Garner family and advocates in seeking accountability and transparency after his death.
