3. Advocate Compstat's innovation.

Abstract

Introduction Compstat tributes are extensive. Compstat has been described as “perhaps the single most important organizational/administrative innovation in policing during the latter half of the 20th century” (Kelling and Sousa 2001: 6). A Criminology and Public Policy Journal editor recently termed Compstat “arguably one of the most significant strategic innovations in policing in the last couple of decades” (Criminology and Public Policy 2003: 419). The authors of a major study note that Compstat “has already been recognized as a major innovation in American policing” (Weisburd, Mastrofski, McNally et al. 2003: 422). In 1996, Compstat was awarded the prestigious Innovations in American Government Award from the Ford Foundation and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Former Mayor Giuliani proclaims Compstat as his administration's “crown jewel” (Giuliani 2002: 7). Why the praise, what are they specifically praising and is this praise warranted? These questions constitute the core of this chapter which maintains that Compstat praise, criticism, and replication are frequently based on a superficial understanding of its proper development, implementation, and many dimensions. The literature inadequately reflects how Compstat's successful implementation and maintenance is often incomplete when it lacks substantial organizational revamping and proper managerial preparation. This contributes to an insufficient appreciation of Compstat's array of attributes. In addition, there is often a lack of understanding of how any particular Compstat may reflect the organizational and managerial arrangements of an individual law enforcement agency at any specific time.

4. Permanent revolution.

Author

Cooper, John Xiros

Abstract

Of course, the factory is not the cause of all this. Nor is mechanization as such. The factory is the visible embodiment or techno-social symptom of the new values regime generated by a more fundamental material revolution in human history and consciousness. I speak of the revolution of capital. The capitalist revolution is the key material condition for the emergence of the modernity we are stuck with in the twenty-first century. Marx was not the only nineteenth-century thinker who came to understand that capitalism and the circulation of capital was in the process of revolutionizing, by dint of the industrial model of production, both the material world and the moral world as well. Many Victorian voices denounced the money economy, the cash nexus, and the factory system as soul-destroying and corrupting, in which inherited values were threatened as never before. The irresistible advance of this system of capital accumulation and production, driven on by the market-form, had its necessary ideological dimension. The changes in the material environment all through the nineteenth century changed the common, or inherited, perceptions of what it meant to be a human being. These ideological shifts opened a wide rift between perception and reality. New philosophical and legal definitions of the person and the person as appropriated by the mechanical systems around which life was increasingly organized widened as the century progressed.

5. The Health of Slaves and Free Blacks in the East.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Because the vital registration system evolved slowly in the United States, and was not complete in the South until the second quarter of the twentieth century, historical evidence on the health of blacks is meager. This chapter incorporates skeletal indicators of health and compares results with traditional sources. Free blacks were remarkably healthy in early-nineteenth-century Philadelphia, despite obstacles to their social and economic mobility. The number of slave skeletons studied here is small, but they contain many lesions indicating biological stress and considerable physical exertion. If this was true more generally, then intense physical labor, rather than organizational efficiency, could have been an important source of the greater output per worker on slave as opposed to free farms. Controversy over the health and mortality of slaves and free blacks can be traced to the abolitionist era when critics of slavery included charges of poor living conditions and poor nutrition as part of their attack (Weld, 1839). Although these claims were secondary issues in the attack against the institution in the United States, they nevertheless defined an agenda for later research by historians, economists, and other social scientists. Virtually all comprehensive twentieth-century works on slavery address the issues of health and nutrition against a backdrop of whites or of free blacks. Despite remarkable efforts by historians and economists to understand slavery and to interpret and analyze some of the features of the experience of African slaves of the nineteenth century through numerous sources, several points or issues of controversy remain over health. As part of the overall research objective of this project, our goal is to bring bioarchaeological evidence into the debate and to compare results with other historical skeletal samples.

6. At First Sight.

Author

Portes, Jacques

Abstract

When we meet a new person, first impressions, fallacious though they can be, count for a great deal. The same is true when we travel to a place we have not known before. A first glance perceives differences and scans landscapes and people for the signs of exoticism that will justify the journey. These first impressions often leave the strongest marks, those that one remembers most clearly when it comes to writing down one's memories and reflections. The French travelers who arrived in the United States were no exception to this rule, and the strength of these first images is evident in their accounts: New York and its bay, Chicago and its sprawling size, monumental Washington, the hum of San Francisco by the Golden Gate, or the power of the Grand Canyon. A marvel of nature, an evening's special light, or the physiognomies of passers-by thus anchored down the first impressions. Pierre de Coubertin was particularly enthusiastic about natural sites: … the banks of the Hudson, the mass of the Niagara tumbling down, the panoramic views of Quebec or Montreal, the Potomac seen from Washington's Capitol, and the sparkling sunsets of Florida are forever present in my memory. The marquis de Chanteloup-Laubat for his part emphasized the urban landscape: No description can give us an exact idea of the American city, built in a checkerboard pattern, covered by an immense network of metal wires, cut by numbered streets, congested with vehicles of all kinds, and crisscrossed by elevated trains that clatter overhead on high steel scaffolds.
