Affirmative Action

[Mark Graber]

For a similar questioning of the centrality of affirmative action as 
means for improving racial equality in the United States, see Adolph
Reed, THE JESSE JACKSON PHENOMENON.

It seems to me that Larry Rosenthal's post points up the pressing 
importance of affirmative action in a quite different context.  If
rampant 
violence is to be decreased in our inner cities, strict law enforcement

must be combined with a level of trust between the police and the 
communities themselves.  This trust is far more likely to be achieved
if 
those responsible for policing are drawn from the communities which
they serve.
