check out material on "authoritarian personality traits." You can start with Theodor Adorno, standard textbooks list authoritarianism as theory undergirding racism in society.
Of course it depends of your topic, but I would advise you to look into social control literature (Culture of Control, Garland, 2001/ Punishing the poor, Wacquant, 2009/ Broken window theory, Wilson and Kelling, 1982).
Numerous theories obviously depending on your approach as to why it does or doesn't work; try differential association theory by sutherland and group contact hypothesis by allport
As you no doubt know the work of Michelle Alexander, New Jim Crow; would encourage your looking at community policing, which ironically was pioneered in Chicago, dont think the conccept is in use now. Larry Joseph I think has written on this.
I Recomend you review one of my papers, i listed different theories about the relationship between police and community.
Llanos, Luis Felipe (2014) Organizational Variables in Effectiveness of Police. International Review of Management and Business Research Vol. 3 Issue.2
Please don't miss the concept of police legitimacy:
Sunshine, J., & Tyler, T. R. (2003). The role of procedural justice and legitimacy in shaping public support for policing. Law and Society Review, 37, 555–589.
Tyler, T. R. (2001). Public trust and confidence in legal authorities. Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 19, 215–235
Tyler, T. R. (2006). Psychological perspectives on legitimacy and legitimation. Annual Review of Psychology, 57, 375-400.
Police legitimacy is a great start (Gary LaFree), collective efficacy (Robert Sampson), and Procedural justice theory. All have quite a bit of recent research conducted as it relates to community and police relations.
I would suggest that you look at institutional theories that explain the convergence of public demands and expectations with police outputs. Community policing essentially is a set of strategies and tactics that attempt to improve police effectiveness both in terms of responding to crime and disorder and community relations.
MY STATE-APPROVED LAW BOOK, WHICH IS ENTITLED, "JUSTICE NOT JAILS" CAN ASSIST ANYONE IN EXPLAINING THE CONVERGENCE OF PUBLIC DEMANDS AND EXPLANATIONS WITH POLICE OUTPUTS.
Other posible is the government-granted monopoly. Is a form of coercive monopoly by which a government grants exclusive privilege to a private company to be the services provider of a commodity; potential competitors are excluded from the market by law, regulation, or other mechanisms.
I am notifying you about a law education book, entitled, “How to Raise Your Children to Keep Them Out of Gangs and Prison,” which is now entitled, “Justice Not Jails.”
The law book fulfills the focal point of educating families about the real ‘nuts and bolts’ of the Juvenile Justice System. (Reference the article published by Focal Point, entitled “What Families Think of the Juvenile Justice System: Findings from the OJJDP Multi-State Study, Summer 2006, Volume 20 Number 2)
In 1998, Mr. Janowicz’s law book was reviewed and approved for ‘legal
compliance’ and ‘social content’ by the California Department of Education (CDE) for Social Studies.
Mr. Janowicz’s law book can be used as a ‘reference book’ for grades 4th through 12th.
Since 1998, my book, entitled, “Legal Education Awareness Program” has a proven ‘track proven’ in educating at-risk minors, first-offenders (minors and adults), and incarcerated minors, adults and their families.
In 1999, the California Counsel for Social Studies selected Mr. Janowicz’s law book for the “Program of Excellence” award.
THE LAW BOOK IS STUDENT-CENTERED AND ADDRESSES THE SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL NEEDS OF ALL STUDENTS.
The purpose of Juvenile Justice is for ‘rehabilitation’ not ‘punishment’.
In order to achieve success in the classroom with African American and Latino students, the educator must understand the population that he/she teaches, as well as consistently analyze if his/her teaching practices are effective,” writes educator and culture critic Quassan Castro. “if you do not understand the population of students you teach, your success in the classroom can be greatly minimized.”
Frank D Janowicz is a motivational speaker; a correctional teacher; and a seasoned prevention professional with over (30 years) in educating at-risk, incarcerated and released youths and adults. I possess over (48) years in the criminal justice field. No organization possesses an individual with my experience and expertise in the juvenile and criminal justice systems and because I understand the population of students I teach, which enables me to orchestrate a positive learning environment.

Given the fundamental place of law in our American society, every citizen needs to know now how the legal and political systems function, how the law affects them, and how they can affect it. (My law book meets the ‘social’ and ‘emotional’ needs of all students (adult and juvenile)
The most powerful “innovation” contributing to students’ success is support from caring adults in schools. Young people need an anchor, someone whom they can trust to be a stable presence in their lives. Even better is a web of supportive adults and peers to help them navigate their way through life’s challenges and toward graduation and a successful adulthood.
WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN EFFECTIVE LAW BOOK?
(1.) Extensive Interaction Among Students. (2.) Realistic Content Includes Balance Treatment of Issues. (3.) Use of Outside Resources in the Classroom.
Law-Related books/programs involve students actively in the learning process in ways that reflect a high regard for each person.
Research indicates that nearly (50%) percent of all academic vocabulary comes from Social Studies and that a student needs to understand (90%) percent of the words in a passage to infer the meaning of the other (10%) percent.
