Get into the music with David Leander Williams as he charts the rise and fall of Indiana Avenue, the Majestic Entertainment Boulevard of Indianapolis, which produced some of the nation's most influential jazz artists. The performance venues that once lined the vibrant thoroughfare were an important stop on the Chitlin' Circuit and provided platforms for greats like Freddie Hubbard and Jimmy Coe. Through this biography of the bustling street, meet scores of the other musicians who came to prominence in the avenue's heyday, including trombonist J.J. Johnson and guitarist Wes Montgomery, as well as songwriters like Noble Sissle and Leroy Carr.

What roles do racism, law, and crime play in community policing? Community policing as a social activity is contextualized culturally, mediated politically, and articulated in an exclusionary form. Exclusion plays an integral role in State's quest for legitimacy and in criminalizing racial groups. Law plays a central role in the reproduction and legitimation of forms of exclusion. The question of how racism persists is explained in terms of the power to criminalize through the discourse of community policing. Students and teachers of criminology, sociology, law, policy makers and criminal justice professionals can apply this book to the problems of racial injustice in society.
