The Justice Department's Pattern-or-Practice Police Reform Program, 1994–2017
The Department of Justice's pattern-or-practice police reform program has been an unprecedented event in American policing, intervening in local and state law enforcement agencies as never before and requiring a sweeping package of reforms. The program has reached reform settlements with forty agencies, including twenty with judicially enforced consent decrees. Academic research on the program, however, has been fairly modest. Social scientists h…
Have craft breweries followed or led gentrification in Portland, Oregon? An investigation of retail and neighbourhood change
This paper quantitatively measures the relationship between retail change and residential gentrification by examining the connection between gentrification and the opening of craft breweries in Portland, Oregon. Our findings indicate that: 1) craft breweries were slightly more likely to open in gentrified/gentrifying neighbourhoods than not and, 2) with the exception of the 1990s, breweries in gentrifying neighbourhoods most often opened followed…
Tearing down the city to save it? 'Back-door regionalism' and the demolition coalition in Cleveland, Ohio
In this paper, we explore what Cleveland, Ohio's program of demolishing abandoned and foreclosed houses can teach us about the logics and politics of post-2007 austerity urbanism. We investigate the emergence of a local political coalition that has promoted demolition as a solution to the city's housing crisis. In tracking how this political consensus is spatialized, we analyze how demolition both supports and complicates existing theories of aus…

Urban agriculture and the sustainability fix in Vancouver and Detroit
Both Vancouver, British Columbia, and Detroit, Michigan, have significant and growing urban agriculture movements. In this article, I follow recent work investigating the connection between urban agriculture and neoliberalization to determine how these local governments have used urban agriculture in narratives of economic development to selectively pursue a sustainability fix. I analyze how different regimes of local governance have influenced t…
Katherine A. Scott. Reining In the State
Public disgust with the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal fueled one of the most remarkable periods of political reform in modern American history. For the first time, Congress sought to rein in the power of the executive branch in the long-secretive area of national security. The achievements of that relatively brief period include the 1973 War Powers Resolution, the 1974 Hughes-Ryan Amendment limiting covert actions by the Central Intellige…
Henry Ford's War on Jews and the Legal Battle against Hate Speech
Almost all Americans, we can safely assume, recognize the name Henry Ford and are familiar with the man's legendary role in the history of the automobile. A certain number of people are also familiar with the notorious anti-Semitic tract The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (1903). And Louis Marshall, the founder and first director of the American Jewish Committee, is probably familiar to leaders of the Jewish community. At best, perhaps a few spe…
Presidents and Civil Liberties from Wilson to Obama
This book is a history of the civil liberties records of American presidents from Woodrow Wilson to Barack Obama. It examines the full range of civil liberties issues: First Amendment rights of freedom of speech, press and assembly; due process; equal protection, including racial justice, women's rights, and lesbian and gay rights; privacy rights, including reproductive freedom; and national security issues. The book argues that presidents have n…
The neglect of police unions
Police unions are widely recognized as having a major influence on American policing, with respect to day‐to‐day management, disciplinary procedures, and police–community relations. Despite this important influence, however, police scholars have neglected police unions. The reasons for this neglect are not clear, as scholars have investigated other highly sensitive police issues such as the use of excessive force and corruption. This paper examin…
Science and Politics in Police Research
Police research in the United States has been heavilyinfluenced by external politics. This influence isagendasetting rather than truth-suppressing. Agenda-settinginfluence occurs where external political influencecauses researchers to undertake research on a subject orsubjects they had previously neglected. The influence ofpolitics on research has, in some very importantrespects, greatly enriched social science research on thepolice, forcing scho…

Urban Crime Policy
Crime is not a problem of the justice system. Rather, criminal activity results from social factors beyond the direct control of justice agencies. There are limits to the ability of the justice system to reduce crime through more arrests, convictions, and harsher punishments. The authors explore the effects of crime control policy and debate beliefs held by victims of crime. Justice agencies, they argue, can contribute to improving the quality of…
