The Milwaukee Police and Latino Community Relations, 1964-2000

Rezensionen / Stimmen

Guajardo offers one of the rare, firsthand accounts of a Latino police officer's experiences integrating an urban police force. His research represents an original exploration of the complex history of Latino/a police officers and their experiences navigating the racial politics of an urban police department. Guajardo's history of the National Latino Police Officers Association is a particularly valuable contribution. -- Joseph A. Rodriguez, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee This timely book expands the conversation about policing and communities of color by placing Latinas/os at the center of a critical and contentious social issue. The author's personal and professional experience as a Chicano community member and law enforcement officer provides important context that will inform how we understand social change in law enforcement. -- Eric Castillo, Springfield College
