Sociologist Ana Muņiz shows how these influential groups used policies and everyday procedures to criminalize behaviors commonly associated with blacks and Latinos and to promote an exceedingly aggressive form of policing. Muņiz illuminates the degree to which the definitions of "gangs" and "deviants" are politically constructed labels born of public policy and court decisions, offering an innovative look at the process of criminalization and underscoring the ways in which a politically powerful coalition can define deviant behavior. As she does so, Muņiz also highlights the various grassroots challenges to such policies and the efforts to call attention to their racist effects. Muņiz describes the fight over two very different methods of policing: community policing (in which the police and the community work together) and the "broken windows" or "zero tolerance" approach (which aggressively polices minor infractions-such as loitering-to deter more serious crime). Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries also explores the history of the area to explain how Cadillac-Corning became viewed by outsiders as a "violent neighborhood" and how the city's first gang injunction-a restraining order aimed at alleged gang members-solidified this negative image. As a result, Muņiz shows, Cadillac-Corning and other sections became a test site for repressive practices that eventually spread to the rest of the city. 410 0$aCritical issues in crime and society. 606 $aDiscrimination in law enforcement$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aCommunity policing$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aGangs$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 606 $aDiscrimination in criminal justice$zCalifornia$zLos Angeles 615 0$aDiscrimination in law enforcement 615 0$aCommunity policing 615 0$aGangs 615 0$aDiscrimination in criminal justice 676 $a363.2089/00979494 700 $aMun?iz$b Ana$f1984-$01528634 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797219403321 996 $aPolice, power, and the production of racial boundaries$93772329 997 $aUNINA
