Reviews

[Felker-Kantor's] coverage of major issues facing the [LAPD] between the 1960s and 1990s is fairly comprehensive, as is his exploration of community organizing around police accountability. . . . As historical scholarship on the criminal-justice system evolves, Policing Los Angeles serves as a model for police history and points to directions yet taken.--Journal of Arizona History

The attention paid in Policing Los Angeles to liberal law and order is particularly valuable to current discussions of mass incarceration, the school-to-prison pipeline, and the militarization of police . . . Felker-Kantor also demonstrates impressive archival breadth.--H-Net Reviews
