Book excerpt: In July 1919, an explosive race riot forever changed Chicago. For years, black southerners had been leaving the South as part of the Great Migration. Their arrival in Chicago drew the ire and scorn of many local whites, including members of the city's political leadership and police department, who generally sympathized with white Chicagoans and viewed black migrants as a problem population. During Chicago's Red Summer riot, patterns of extraordinary brutality, negligence, and discriminatory policing emerged to shocking effect. Those patterns shifted in subsequent decades, but the overall realities of a racially discriminatory police system persisted. In this history of Chicago from 1919 to the rise and fall of Black Power in the 1960s and 1970s, Simon Balto narrates the evolution of racially repressive policing in black neighborhoods as well as how black citizen-activists challenged that repression. Balto demonstrates that punitive practices by and inadequate protection from the police were central to black Chicagoans' lives long before the late-century "wars" on crime and drugs. By exploring the deeper origins of this toxic system, Balto reveals how modern mass incarceration, built upon racialized police practices, emerged as a fully formed machine of profoundly antiblack subjugation.

Book excerpt: "Chicago is confronting a racial reckoning that we explain with an exclusion-containment theory of legal cynicism. Mayors RJ and RM Daley used public and private funds to exclude and contain South and West side predominantly Black neighborhoods where police Detective Jon Burge supervised torture of over 100 Black men. A 1982 case involved Andrew Wilson's tortured confession to two police killings. This case coincided with RM Daley's pursuit of White votes in an early and unsuccessful primary campaign for mayor. Suspicions about Daley's connection to Wilson's confession lasted throughout his career. As State's Attorney, Daley mobilized a massive assault on "gangs, guns, and drugs" by tightening law enforcement methods. An example involved the Automatic Transfer Act used to prosecute 15 year-old Joseph White in adult court for shooting a fellow student. The judge thought White should have sought help from police, but he and his family knew the police as brutal occupiers of local neighborhoods. White was sentenced to 45 years in a maximum-security prison. Jon Burge was finally convicted in 2010-of perjury-but he served only three years, while many of his victims remained on death row. In a sidebar in the Burge trial-unheard by jurors-the judge refused to allow evidence about a racialized code of silence that concealed Burge's torture. Our book ends by explaining how Daley and Burge escaped meaningful punishment through the code of silence and out of court settlements. These remain unrelenting sources of the racial reckoning confronting this quintessential American city"--

Book excerpt: Tensions between the Black Community and Chicago's majority-white police force have continued to escalate through the years. From the late 60's through the early 90's, those tensions grew to an all time high. In this explosive memoir, Howard recounts, not only the battles, the lawsuits, and the negotiations that resulted in more accountability in the police department, but also the racism within the ranks which often brought him and his fellow Afro American Police League members into the line of fire. For those who lived through those times, reliving that era through the experiences of a former Black cop will gibe you a whole new perspective. For others, throughout the nation, this will serve as a history lesson and an upfront, close-up look into the Chicago you've only heard about, the real Chicago and its Police, Prisons, Politics and Power.

Book excerpt: This dissertation is about policing in Chicago's black community, and black Chicagoans' relationships with the police, from 1919 through the mid-1970s. Its central explorations revolve around black communities' dual experiences of being both under-protected and over-policed by the Chicago Police Department (CPD). On the one hand, it shows the degree to which the CPD and urban policymakers corralled criminal activity into black communities at various junctures, withheld police protection at others in order to extract political or economic favors, and consistently failed to respond effectively to black demands for protection from vice, crime, and white racist violence. On the other hand, it documents the many ways that racial suspicion contoured police actions toward black Chicagoans as early as the 1910s, and the many resulting abuses and harassments that followed. In so doing, it argues that the extreme racial disparities witnessed in the modern mass incarceration crisis originate not in the post-Civil Rights Wars on Crime and Drugs, as many scholars and citizens have assumes, but in local policing practices and traditions that have been extant and growing for a century. Racial disproportion in arrests (from which convictions and incarceration stem) is a very old tradition in Chicago, and was a feature of the city's law enforcement culture that nonpartisan observers began acknowledging a hundred years ago. Even when black people were not being arrested, they were frequently subject to an intensifying surveillance apparatus, and to mechanisms of control such as stop-and-frisk, harassment, and torture. To be sure, when the federal government unleashed the drug and crime wars beginning in the mid-1960s, they exacerbated the disparate ways that black people would be freighted with the weight of the criminal justice system. But those wars did not create such disparities, and their foundational logics when it came to treating black communities with suspicion and force were, at the wars' inceptions, already heavily engrained in law enforcement cultures, both locally and across the country. Those dual experiences - over-policed, under-protected - have sat at the heart of police-community dynamics for roughly a century. They continue to pose intense challenges for urban communities to this day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In sheer numbers, no form of government control comes close to the police stop. Each year, twelve percent of drivers in the United States are stopped by the police, and the figure is almost double among racial minorities. Police stops are among the most recognizable and frequently criticized incidences of racial profiling, but, while numerous studies have shown that minorities are pulled over at higher rates, none have examined how police stops have come to be both encouraged and institutionalized. Pulled Over deftly traces the strange history of the investigatory police stop, from its discredited beginning as “aggressive patrolling” to its current status as accepted institutional practice. Drawing on the richest study of police stops to date, the authors show that who is stopped and how they are treated convey powerful messages about citizenship and racial disparity in the United States. For African Americans, for instance, the experience of investigatory stops erodes the perceived legitimacy of police stops and of the police generally, leading to decreased trust in the police and less willingness to solicit police assistance or to self-censor in terms of clothing or where they drive. This holds true even when police are courteous and respectful throughout the encounters and follow seemingly colorblind institutional protocols. With a growing push in recent years to use local police in immigration efforts, Hispanics stand poised to share African Americans’ long experience of investigative stops. In a country that celebrates democracy and racial equality, investigatory stops have a profound and deleterious effect on African American and other minority communities that merits serious reconsideration. Pulled Over offers practical recommendations on how reforms can protect the rights of citizens and still effectively combat crime.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authors Franklin and Hein have witnessed firsthand difficulties experienced in some black communities. They use their knowledge to analyze and discuss the interactions between American policing, a subculture of the black community and the BLM movement. The authors wrote this book not because of attacks on police officers but because of overzealous actions by officers to shoot black men. It describes how blue on black shootings along with police tactics sometimes cause intense citizen responses through public statements, outbursts, and demonstrations. It begins with an examination of the differences between the black and white communities; how the same incident can be viewed from two different perspectives and how a discussion can be perceived unbiased by one but biased and unjust by another. Because of civil rights efforts American policing is going through a transformation. A change in policing tactics must be met with a re-evaluation of some cultural norms by the black community. They also discuss the lack of support by blacks shown to other blacks when there is an impression of being “not black enough.” The authors believe in political correctness, but also believe that political correctness is harming the black community, because well-recognized negative issues in some communities are not being addressed to avoid criticism of black culture. In the final chapter the authors discuss the failure of black leadership to make any earnest effort to rescue a wanting black subculture from itself. Finally, the authors believe that American policing understands its 21st century obligations and is taking steps to meet them.
