guard by the 1992 riot. Instead of honestly examining the causes of the violence, LAPD cast blame on Blacks and Latino/as and used the uprising further to augment the power of the police. Policing Los Angeles is an excellent study that should be required reading for anyone interested in late twentieth-century urban development and the expansion of police power. Felker-Kantor is wise to place LAPD, the nation’s third-largest police department in one of the most diverse cities in the United States, under a critical lens. His analysis of the ways in which LAPD targets communities of color, and how it successfully justifies doing so, is top-notch, and the amount of research that went into this book is truly impressive.

艾伦·布林克利（Alan Brinkley）：历史上的一生

于1992年暴动后卫。LAPD没有诚实地调查暴力起因，而是将责任归咎于黑人和拉丁裔/ as，并利用起义进一步增强了警察的权力。对二十世纪末期的城市发展和警察权力的扩张感兴趣的任何人都应该阅读《警务洛杉矶》，这是一项出色的研究。Felker-Kantor明智的做法是，将LAPD（美国第三大警察局）置于美国最多元化的城市之一。他对LAPD瞄准色彩社区的方式以及成功实现色彩的方法的分析是一流的，而本书中的研究量确实令人印象深刻。
