520 |a "Hope and Struggle in the Policed City: Black Criminalization and Resistance in Philadelphia explores how local concerns about poverty-induced, black crime cultivated by police, journalists, and city officials sparked a rise in tough on crime policing while community activists resisted with social welfare programs in Philadelphia"-- 
520 |a Explores how concerns about poverty-induced Black crime cultivated by police, journalists, and city officials sparked a rise in tough-on-crime policing in PhiladelphiaDuring the Great Migration of African Americans to the North, Philadelphias police department, journalists, and city officials used news media to create and reinforce narratives that criminalized Black people and led to police brutality, segregation, and other dehumanizing consequences for Black communities. Over time, city officials developed a system of racial capitalism in which City Council financially divested from social welfare programs and instead invested in the police department, promoting a tough on crime policing program that generated wealth for Philadelphias tax base in an attempt to halt white flight from the city.Drawing from newspapers, census records, oral histories, interviews, police investigation reports, housing project pamphlets, maps, and more, Hope and Struggle in the Policed City draws the connective line between the racial bias African Americans faced as they sought opportunity in the North and the over-policing of their communities, of which the effects are still visible today. Menika B. Dirkson posits that the tough-on-crime framework of this time embedded itself within every aspect of society, leading to enduring systemic issues of hyper-surveillance, the use of excessive force, and mass incarceration.Hope and Struggle in the Policed City makes important contributions to our understanding of how a city governments budgetary strategy can function as racial capitalism that relies on criminal scapegoating. Most cogently, it illustrates how this perpetuates the cycle of poverty-induced crime, inflates rates of incarceration and police brutality, and marginalizes poor people of color
