About this title

Synopsis

Chicago's Reckoning confronts the complicated history of race, politics, and policing in Chicago through a study of Richard J. and Richard M. Daley's terms in mayoral office. The book uses a study of police misconduct and political corruption in Chicago to develop an exclusion-containment theory of legal cynicism that explains ongoing problems with urban policing.
