Center for Economic and Social Justice - HOME Center for Economic and Social Justice Policing the Poor: From Slave Plantation to Public Housing by Neil Websdale, While Many Applaud the apparent successes of community and saturation policing, Neil Websdale contends instead that such law enforcement initiatives oppress rather than protect the poor, particularly African Americans in large urban centers.

In his emphasis on realism, Mill thus took economics out of ...

St Louis Science Center - HOME St Louis Science Center Building Civic Capacity: The Politics of Reforming Urban Schools by Clarence N. Stone, The authors of this volume argue that urban education is in urgent need of reform and that, although there have been plenty of innovative and even promising attempts to improve conditions, most have been doomed. The reason for this, they agree, lies in the failure of our major cities to develop their "civic capacity" -- the ability to build and maintain a broad social and political coalition across all sectors of the urban community in pursuit of a common goal. Drawing upon an ambitious eleven-city study funded by the National Science Foundation, the authors synthesize and make sense of the enormous amount of data from Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, ...
