Los Angeles Police Department Meltdown (eBook, ePUB)

The Fall of the Professional-Reform Model of Policing

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The LAPD suffered a devastating fall from grace following the 1991 police officer beating of Rodney King and the Los Angeles riots stemming from the officers acquittal in 1992. This book reveals a special inside study performed under the authority of LAPD Chief of Police Daryl Gates to investigate why the department had begun to disintegrate and how, if possible, it could be salvaged. The findings presented are based on first-hand written accounts of LAPD officer informants. Lost for some 20 years under mysterious circumstances, these materials were recently retrieved and made available for analysis. They are presented in their entirety in this book.
