Hi Professor, I am Felipe Rendon and I just wanted to make sure that the books you have posted on the csusm catalog are accurate so I can go ahead and purchase them.

As a young colored women living in LA County, I have always been fascinated with the police approach and attitudes towards minorities and rural part of LA. I was aware with the gangs’ situation in major cities of country, including LA. Yet, I was unaware of the history and rise of gangs etc. When I came across the movie,”Bastards of the Party”, I was thrilled and excited. I could relate to this documentary with the theories such as racial segregation and white supremacy. I was also able to relate to this documentary with Coates reading the “between the world and me.” Coates work is not a work of inspiration or optimism. It is not written for white people - not written to comfort them, pat them on the back for their occasional acknowledgment
Lately in the media police brutality has been a very popular topic. Most of the instances reported in the media are of white police officers killing African Americans for seemingly nothing. These reports have strengthened the divide between both races. In “White Rage” by Carol Anderson the issue of police brutality is touched on within the first few words of her essay. Anderson talks about many acts of aggression at the hands of white men, and she seems to really focus on an unarmed African American male who was shot by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. “Black and Blue,” by Garnette Cadogan continues with the struggles of police brutality in America, but also touches on the abuse in his home country of Jamaica.

The book Policing the Lives of Black and Latino Boys was written by Victor M. Rios, containing 174 pages, and was published in 2011 by the New York University Press. In total, the book contains eight chapters with a preface, expanding on the methods and measures Rios used to collect information and interviews, and an appendix that Rios used to further explain the sociological impact criminology and race have had throughout history. The research for the book takes place in the ghetto of Oakland, California over a three-year period from 2002 to 2005. Having a previous history in Oakland, Rios decided to shadow and interview black and Latino adolescence males from poverty and lower-class
Transferring from a two-year institution to one of the most protégées HBCU's in this country was one of the best life decision I could've made. The astrosphere at my HBCU is second to none. At the point when untouchables specify my establishment first thing that comes to the theme is the legendary "Marching Storm" or our world-class nursing program yet this is simply to give some examples. But with all these incredible trademarks I as an understudy still face worries about foundations with living arrangements, financial aid, and the absence of the educational programs field to consider in. These are just a few concerns to name that rarely gets the mention by outsiders looking in that I as a Prairie
UIC Honors College has always been my ambition since the day I decided to go to college. One of the main reason to go to Honors College is because it gives me opportunity to work with Excellent Professor and also learning under their guidance is the prestige experience that I want to gain in my life.

Moreover, being a constituent of the community that encourages the development of academic excellence helps me to gain important parts of my life that will be helpful in my future. Moving forwards,

The professors use hard hitting facts that demonstrates the truth behind African Americans and the way the law enforcement perceives them, giving the reader some distinctive insight. The history of the law enforcement along with the criminal justice system has portrayed that they are disproportionality race-based. Blacks are more likely than whites to be racially profiled (Staples 2011), to be stopped by law enforcement, and receive harsher sentences. Unfortunately, it has been shown time and time again that judges, jurors, and the law enforcement finds it challenging for them to sympathize with African Americans. All in all this body of academic work has highlighted external factors that have shaped the lives of Blacks in America without giving due attention to the words of Rodney King, the man who became the face of racial injustice (Chaney and Robertson 2014). Four themes were unveiled in the analysis King’s quotes: appreciation for the struggles of former Civil Rights Activists, appreciation for the legal system, personal feelings related to police brutality, and the desire for non-violence as a catalyst for positive

I had a very unique adjust meant to GCU, I transferred in the Friday before classes started which was on Monday so I didn't have much time to prepare or get myself ready to start at a new school. I transferred in and it clearly was not planned I originally went to Marist College which is in Poughkeepsie, New York. I played softball for Marist which is division one, I loved every second of it. There was something missing being away at school, it made me realize how much I miss my family and how dependent I am on them emotionally. I handle myself very well physical and mentally but emotionally I needed to have my family with me for support.
Senior citizens are the people who are most likely to take multiple medications due to the occurring chronic conditions as the aging process continues. Given the several medicines they take, they are ironically the age group that is very much sensitive to medication side effects, both therapeutic and negative.
There is an epidemic embracing young black males around the country, they have become victims of police brutality. In today’s society it is not uncommon for Black males to be unknowledgeable about how to interact with the police, or more importantly have an outlet to express their concerns regarding the issue. The Covenant of Black America, expresses this is an enormous problem throughout the African American community. Staunton’s population of Blacks is 12%, there is an even smaller population of Black high school. (Staunton City Census). Stanton’s school system also lack of Black teachers (Reverend Cornett-Scott). As a result of the insufficient numbers of Black allies, a lack of people working with the Black males as mentors and allies emerge.
James Ellroy’s L.A. Confidential is a story of various plots that do well in presenting the Los Angeles Police Department as a unique, sporadic, and complex organization. In this novel, the LAPD are many things; however, three crucial characteristics that are a part of their core are violence, a police first mentality, and racism. A conversation about the LAPD cannot be a conversion in which those three characteristics are left out because of how influential they are in nearly every action made by the individual of the LAPD. These characteristics are best illustrated by a few of the book main characters, Ed Exley, Dudley Smith, Bud White, Dick Stensland, and Jack Vincennes. All are men of the LAPD.
I enjoyed the book Police, Power, and the Production of Racial Boundaries (Critical Issues in Crime and Society) by Ana Muñiz. Out of all the books we have read in class if found this one the most informative. It read more like a history, or law book than the last books we have read. The facts and figure and the transition of neighborhoods from white to minority neighborhoods was really informative. To know how to fix troubled neighborhoods know, we have to learn how they came to be that way.
HEB possess many corporate social responsibilities (CSR) and I believe that the way HEB executes their responsibilities can benefit and improve the Houston Food Bank (HFB). “The meaning of the CSR is to recognize that business firms have not one but many different kinds of responsibilities, including economic and legal responsibilities. Corporations have an economic responsibility to produce goods and services also to provide jobs and good wages to the work force while earning a profit (The Business Cornerstone). “The concept of corporate social responsibility is often expressed as the voluntary assumption of responsibilities that go beyond the purely economic and legal responsibilities of the firm (Scilly).”
