    Riot: Community Organizations and Public Communication Following Crown Heights and Tompkins Square By Madeleine McGrory THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Urban Planning in the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation of Columbia University New York, New York Adviser: Leah Meisterlin McGrory ABSTRACT This is a qualitative study of the extent to which community organizations reclaimed public space in the face of community conflict and the mechanisms by which they did so, in the case of the Crown Heights and Tompkins Square Park riots. Six community organizers, activists and residents took part in semi-structured interviews regarding safety, ownership, public space and community organizations in their neighborhoods. Media in the form of newspaper articles and op-ed’s were also utilized to gauge the public discourse surrounding the riots and how the communities were able to represent themselves. The research uses a communicative planning theory approach to the issues of conflict and community organizing, and exposes opportunities planners can take advantage of in order to assist communities in representing themselves and minimizing conflict.

RACE AND REASONABLENESS IN POLICE KILLINGS JEFFREY FAGAN & ALEXIS D. CAMPBELL ABSTRACT Police officers in the United States have killed over 1000 civilians each year since 2013. The constitutional landscape that regulates these encounters defaults to the judgments of the reasonable police officer at the time of a civilian encounter based on the officer’s assessment of whether threats to their safety or the safety of others requires deadly force. As many of these killings have begun to occur under similar circumstances, scholars have renewed a contentious debate on whether police disproportionately use deadly force against African Americans and other nonwhite civilians and whether such killings reflect racial bias.

  • Africana Criminal Justice: a Working Annotated Bibliography
    Africana Criminal Justice: A Working Annotated Bibliography Compiled by the Africana Criminal Justice Project Center for Contemporary Black History Columbia University Introduction A major initiative of the Africana Criminal Justice Project has been to collect, examine and popularize black intellectual perspectives on the intersection of race, crime, and justice. Particular attention has been given to the long tradition of resistance to criminal injustice in black intellectual history. We have thus far completed nearly 300 annotated citations, reflecting an array of substantive concerns, interpretive styles, and political perspectives among close to 200 different authors. This effort is intended to increase attention to these important works, and to inspire a new generation of thinkers to carry on and extend these critical inquiries, especially in the fields of African-American and Africana Studies. In time, we hope this collection will become a valued resource for researchers, educators, and civic leaders seeking to understand and ultimately uproot the deep color lines of criminal injustice in the United States and beyond. We are not the first to recognize the need to research and popularize black intellectual engagement with the intersection of race, crime, and justice (see Woodson, 1977; Greene, 1979; Ross, 1998; Greene and Gabbidon, 2000; and Gabbidon, Greene and Young, 2002 in this collection). These works primarily focus on recognizing the contributions of professional African-American scholars to the fields of criminology and criminal justice administration, where their scholarship and positions in the discipline generally have historically been marginalized. Our collection casts a wider net, viewing the intersection of race, crime and justice as fundamental to civil society, and thus attracting a larger crowd of interlocutors.
