“Nice resource for urban studies researchers. Definitely worth a read. I highly recommend this book. Glad I bought it. Yes!...”
een shaped by broader public safety initiatives that have sought solutions in policing and privatization and have had devastating effects along race and class lines.Drawing on extensive archival and ethnographic research in New York City and San Francisco, Hanhardt traces the entwined histories of LGBT activism, urban development, and U.S. policy in relation to poverty and crime over the past fifty years.
