Policing the Progressive City

The dangers of "progressive policing" as told through a study of Portland, Oregon. This is a story of Portland, Oregon, from an outpost of the Hudson’s Bay Company, through its founding as a city and the long and lively twentieth century shaped by organized crime, labor unrest, and waves of migration. But more so, this is a story of how over the course of nearly 200 years, the city has pursued "law and order" under the influence of business interests, political climbers, and social campaigners.
