Latinxs in the Kansas City Metro Area: Policing and Criminalization in Ethnic Enclaves/

By: Contributor(s): Material type: ArticleArticlePublication details: Sage, 2020.Description: Vol 40, Issue 2, 2020 ( 151–168 p.)Online resources: In: Journal of Planning Education and ResearchSummary: This study explores the socio-spatial, economic, and policing inequities experienced by Latinxs in the Kansas City metropolitan using geographic, census, and police data as well as qualitative analysis of interviews and workshops. Data show there has been an expansion of Latinx enclaves over time in the metropolitan area and suggest that enclaves function as both a protective factor for Latinxs against socio-structural hardship and also render them highly visible as targets for disproportionate criminalization. To redress the latter, we offer planning recommendations for community development and policing that promote socio-spatial equity in law enforcement practices while adapting to demographic shifts.
