- W2993790246 abstract "Introduction THE LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT'S (LAPD) RAMPART SCANDAL OF THE LATE-1990s involved allegations of outrageous misconduct, led to overturning of over 100 criminal convictions and resulted firing or resignations of nearly 20 officers, several of whom were convicted of criminal charges (Burcham, 2001). The cost to city of Los Angeles has been estimated to be as high as one billion dollars (Pomerantz, 2000), (1) and LAPD is currently under federal oversight from Department of Justice (pbs.org, 2007). The Rampart Scandal raises serious questions about Los Angeles justice system at many levels. In light of recent allegations of brutality by LAPD, (2) it is important to understand what happened Rampart 1990s. Unfortunately, no entity has systematically investigated alleged misconduct at heart of Rampart Scandal (although Los Angeles District Attorney's office has investigated a few allegations). Instead, justice system investigators have analyzed LAPD organization an attempt to discover organizational problems that may have contributed to a context for misconduct. These efforts address only a few incidents and leave open questions about type, frequency, and causes of misconduct LAPD. In this vacuum of knowledge, LAPD developed a version of story suggesting that a very small group of Black and Hispanic officers were responsible for all of misconduct (LAPD, 2000). This familiar apples framing contradicted whistleblower Rafael Perez's (3) version of story, which described widespread misconduct. Perez claimed that a large number of officers were in loop, meaning they regularly planted evidence, manufactured probable cause, beat citizens, and generally abused citizens' due-process rights. Which version of story is correct? It is impossible to say because neither version can be confirmed with publicly available information. Nevertheless, evidence suggests that there are elements of truth both versions of story. It seems clear that something like a loop exists within LAPD, (4) and it is obvious that Rafael Perez, and at least a few of his officer friends, were apples. What are we to make of this explanatory stalemate? Considering LAPD's history of scandals, and failure of previous reforms to prevent misconduct, it might make sense to try to develop some ideas that go beyond apples or rotten barrel. My goal is to suggest critical lines of inquiry that have been ignored by official investigators and media commentators so far. Specifically, I hope to draw attention away from individualist or organizational approaches to LAPD's troubles, and toward an approach attending to justice system institution. Specifically, I propose two alternative causal factors: (1) ideological on crime, and (2) position of police criminal trials. These factors operate both within and outside police organization, and illuminate influence of racist and essentialist ideological discourse on patterns and practices of justice system organizations and individuals who constitute them. Police misconduct influenced by these factors cannot be addressed through organizational reforms unless those reforms reflect larger-scale changes discourses about justice system institution. One way to discover factors such as the war on crime and privileged police narratives is to look for their absence official analyses and media representations of scandal. This method seems counter-intuitive--looking for an absence-but if we theoretically contextualize roles and apparatuses that produce mainstream discourse on Rampart, we can see how ideology operates to foreground individual (and to a lesser extent, organizational) level analyses at expense of institutional-level analyses. This foregrounding is evident official and media representations that lay blame for Rampart on bad character of Rafael Perez and a few other Black and Hispanic officers. …" @default.
