Reviews
The genius of Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries is in the author's skillful analysis on the 'other side' of the criminal justice system. This book stands out precisely because it turns a critical eye toward the creators and enforcers of the law. --Christopher Bickel assistant professor of sociology, California State University, San Marcos (09/12/2014)

"""In a compelling, nonacademic way, Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries blows the lid off gang suppression policies in Los Angeles. Through a combination of personal narrative and rigorous scholarship, Ana Muniz reveals how gang injunctions have hurt minority communities and fomented racial tensions for a generation. A fabulous book that I couldn't put down, it is a must-read for every public defender or civil rights lawyer representing teenagers accused of gang activities."" -- Sean Kennedy * Executive Director, Center of Juvenile Law & Policy , Loyola Law School * ""The genius of Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries is in the author's skillful analysis on the 'other side' of the criminal justice system.
