Summary:

Gutierrez examines the solicitation, granting, and use of Community Oriented Policing (COP) Funds in 197 municipalities. He discusses how disproportionately poor, crime-ridden cities did in comparison to prosperous, safe cities with regard to COP funds and whether COP funding was used to help build bridges for police-community relations in cities with high levels of diversity. His results, assessing the ability of different cities to get federal money and then the effectiveness of that money, are important when analyzing publicly funded changes in local law enforcement.
