  • Here Was “Zero Evidence of Racial Profiling” and in Order to Examine Concerns Regarding Racial Profiling “Rigorous Investigation” Would Be Needed
    1 Stop LAPD Spying Coalition February 24, 2015 Commissioner President Steve Soboroff Commissioner Vice President Paula Madison Commissioner Sandra Figueroa-Villa Commissioner Kathleen Kim Commissioner Robert M. Saltzman Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners 100 West First Street, Suite 134 Los Angeles, California 90012 Dear Commissioners: On behalf of the Stop LAPD Spying Coalition (“coalition”) we write to you with deep concern on the failure of the Los Angeles Board of Police Commissioners (“commission”) to meaningfully respond to community concerns regarding the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). The function and role of the Board of Police Commissioners officially states: “The Commissioners’ concerns are reflective of the community-at-large, and their priorities include implementing recommended reforms, improving service to the public by the Department, reducing crime and the fear of crime, and initiating, implementing and supporting community policing programs.”1 Yet on several occasions when communities across Los Angeles have brought to the commission’s attention LAPD programs, policies, and enforcement practices that continue to violate human and civil rights of residents of Los Angeles, the commission has repeatedly dismissed these concerns and failed to act upon communities’ requests to investigate and take corrective action. Following are some of the recent examples of the commission’s failure to act upon Los Angeles communities’ concerns: Racial Profiling On January 27, 2015 the Office of Inspector General (OIG) released the audit of LAPD Suspicious Activity Reporting (SAR) program for the fiscal year 2013-2014.2 The audit revealed disproportionately high numbers of SARs filed on Los Angeles’ Black communities – 30% of total SARs sent to Fusion centers were on blacks while the city’s black population is just under 10%.

  • Metropolitan Latino Political Behavior: Voter Turnout and Candidate Preference in Los Angeles
    METROPOLITAN LATINO POLITICAL BEHAVIOR: VOTER TURNOUT AND CANDIDATE PREFERENCE IN LOS ANGELES MATT A. BARRETO University of California, Irvine MARIO VILLARREAL Claremont Graduate University NATHAN D. WOODS Welch Consulting ABSTRACT: Most research on Latino voting behavior conclusively finds that as a group, Latinos vote at lower rates than other racial and ethnic groups in the United States. In this article, we argue that given the appropriate circumstances, Latinos should be expected to vote at higher rates than other racial and ethnic groups. In particular, we think the presence of a viable Latino candidate will spur increased Latino turnout and that when Latinos candidates run for office, Latino voters will prefer the co-ethnic candidate. Analyzing precinct level returns from the Los Angeles 2001 mayoral and the 2000 presidential elections we show this may be the case. High-density Latino precincts show higher rates of turnout when Latino candidates are on the ballot, and these same precincts show heightened support for the co-ethnic candidate. In fact, for the first time ever in Los Angeles, the 2001 mayoral election witnessed Latinos voting at the highest rates of any racial or ethnic group in the city. ‘‘As a result of research efforts on voting behavior of Chicanos, several patterns have been identified. The more consistent findings have been significantly lower rates of voter registration and turnout than Anglo and black voters’’ (Garcia &Arce, 1988, p. 128). In the decade or so since this sentiment was first expressed, the weight of literature on Latino politics and electoral behavior still finds clearly that Latinos are less likely to participate in politics than are members of other racial and ethnic groups (Arvizu & Garcia, 1996; Calvo &Rosenstone, 1989; Shaw, de la Garza, &Lee, 2000; Verba, Schloz- man, &Brady, 1995; Wolfinger &Rosenstone, 1980).

Ray Kappe is an internationally recognized and published architect-planner- educator who has been in the architectural practice for 50 years. While his work is considered to be an extension of the early Southern California master architects, he will also leave a lasting mark in the industry as the founder of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-ARC). Thom Mayne, partner at Morphosis and architect of the new Caltrans headquarters in Downtown LA, presented Kappe with his award. Steve Soboroff is a real estate executive who has had a significant impact on the Los Angeles landscape. He is a past president of the Recreation and Parks Commission, served as a senior advisor to former Mayor Richard Riordan and spearheaded such projects as the Alameda Corridor and Staples Center. Currently, Soboroff serves as the president of Playa Vista, one of the nation’s most significant mixed-use real estate projects.
