The Limits of Community Policing
A critical look at the realities of community policing in South Los Angeles The Limits of Community Policing addresses conflicts between police and communities. Luis Daniel Gascón and Aaron Roussell depart from traditional conceptions, arguing that community policing—popularized for decades as a racial panacea—is not the solution it seems to be. Tracing this policy back to its origins, they focus on the Los Angeles Police Department, which first introduced community policing after the high-profile Rodney King riots. Drawing on over sixty interviews with officers, residents, and stakeholders in South LA’s “Lakeside” precinct, they show how police tactics amplified—rather than resolved—racial tensions, complicating partnership efforts, crime response and prevention, and accountability. Gascón and Roussell shine a new light on the residents of this neighborhood to address the enduring—and frequently explosive—conflicts between police and communities. At a time when these issues have taken center stage, this volume offers a critical understanding of how community policing really works.

Obras completas
En 1993 El Milagro publicó por vez primera una obra de Mendoza, Hamlet, por ejemplo. A partir de entonces, los editores se propusieron reunir en libros individuales la variedad del corpus teatral mendocino. A lo largo de estos años, El Milagro publicó cinco volúmenes dedicados a Mendoza, pero el esfuerzo aún estaba lejos de la posibilidad de ver reunida una vastísima obra que creció a lo largo de más de cincuenta años de trabajo dramatúrgico. En un esfuerzo sin precedentes para poner al alcance de los lectores esta obra vasta y plena de asombros, la reunión de tres editores dio como resultado un trabajo monumental que ahora permite acceder a las obras completas de Héctor Mendoza:...
