From the Paper
"On April 29, 1992 Los Angeles erupted into what has been known as the L.A. riots. Many people have compared these riots to the Watts riots of 1965. While there are some parallels between the two occurrences, there are major differences as well.
The 1965 Watts riots may have signaled the eclipse of an old order, WASP and conservative, personified by then-Mayor Sam Yorty and Police Chief William Parker.. By the mid-1960s, a new governing coalition was already emerging, linking the black and Jewish communities, liberal on social issues, friendly to corporate priorities, and soon to be presided over by Tom Bradley. The Watts riots pointed out that black people needed a voice in government and with this new, liberal coalition it seemed likely that they would get it. There would be money and effort put into rebuilding the black community."

From the Paper
"In Spring 1992, four Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers were acquitted of assaulting motorist Rodney King. The beating had been videotaped by a bystander and shown on television news broadcasts not just in Los Angeles, but throughout the nation. The verdict sparked riots in Los Angeles that rivaled those of the 60s, with hundreds of fires breaking out and widespread looting taking place. Emergency services personnel were put in danger as they responded to calls, and the long-term effects of the riots are still being felt in the workplace, in government regulations, and in the community. This research examines the riots themselves and the aftermath that they left in Los Angeles."

Abstract
"This study will examine the media coverage of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The thesis of the study will be that the media was biased in its coverage of the riots, and that that bias was based on racial stereotyping.
From the Paper
"This study will examine the media coverage of the 1992 riots in Los Angeles following the acquittal of the police officers charged with beating Rodney King. The thesis of the study will be that the media was biased in its coverage of the riots, and that that bias was based on racial stereotyping.
The sources consulted for this study indicate clearly that there was substantial bias in the coverage of the rioting. That bias involved reporters' assignments, the power over who wrote the words of the stories filed, the description of the rioting and its participants, and, most importantly, an almost total absence of meaningful analysis of the deeper socioeconomic issues which gave rise to the rioting.
Ishmael Reed, in Airing Dirty Laundry, posits the theory that the media is rife with subtle and not-so-subtle racial bias ..."

"Problem Formulation
In April 1992 Los Angeles experienced the worst riot in an American city when the first of the juries trying the police officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King acquitted those officers. The resulting riot has been portrayed in the media as largely a black and white affair, with frustrated Blacks rioting against the white power structure that they see as responsible not only for these verdicts but for the underlying racism and racial oppression they have experienced in the past. Yet, statistics show that this is not an accurate picture of the demographics of the city or what happened in the riots.
The Hispanic and Asian-American populations in the city of Los Angeles increased dramatically during the 1980s, while the Anglo and African-American populations decreased. By 1990 ..."

From the Paper
"In the time that has passed since the Los Angeles riots of April, 1992, plans have been made to rebuild. The issue is how deep the rebuilding effort will go. A cosmetic rebuilding of structures is always possible, but what about the deeper issues that led to the riots in the first place? The rebuilding effort is under the leadership of an organization created for just that purpose, Rebuild L.A., headed by Peter Ueberroth. Los Angeles can indeed be rebuilt as far as replacing burned buildings is concerned. What is less certain is whether real and lasting change can be brought about in the underlying structure of the city, in the relationship between different neighborhoods, in the patterns of investment that have created these neighborhoods and differentiated them economically, in the racial and social tensions that have developed among the various neighborhoods, and..."

Abstract
This paper reviews some of the existing literature regarding crowds and rioting and the emotions and motivations that accompany crowd and riot behavior. The paper also offers an analysis of the articles and compares their different theories.
From the Paper
"When examining crowds, food riots and race riots, different types of emotions, including anger, fear and elation, are often highly visible in crowd and riot behavior. Still, we can no longer return to the days before E.P. Thompson published his watershed piece of "moral indignation" that has been behind so many historical grievances and even the tactics that rioters use when expressing those grievances."

The 1992 Los Angeles Riots, 1997.

"INTRODUCTION
In April 1992 Los Angeles experienced the worst riot in an American city when the first of the juries trying the police officers accused of beating motorist Rodney King acquitted those officers. This was the second major riot in Los Angeles, the first being the Watts Riot in the mid-1960s. After the earlier riot, city officials promised that they would find ways to bridge the gap between the black and white communities and reduce cross-cultural tensions in the city. Tensions between the races and among different ethnic groups continued, however, and exploded once more in the 1992 riot. Those tensions have diminished somewhat in the city, but they have not disappeared, nor have the underlying causes been fully addressed. This leaves it an open question whether these tensions might erupt once more."

"MILITARY ASSISTANCE & CIVIL DISTURBANCES: LOS ANGELES RIOTS CASE
A. Identification of the Appropriate Military Response to Civil Disturbances Based on Doctrine and Which Organization Should Accomplish This Response. United States armed forces have traditionally been available to provide military assistance to civilian authorities (MACDIS or MACA) in restoring law and order in domestic civil disturbances. However, under Department of Defense (DOD) Directive Number 3025.12, 4 Feb 1994 (1994 Directive) and its 1991 predecessor, the armed forces renders MACDIS only as a last resort where its "use . . . is necessary to prevent the loss of life or wanton destruction of property, or to restore governmental functioning and public order" and when "duly constituted local authorities are unable to control the situation" (sec. 4.2.2.1). Sec. 4.1.3 provides that "the primary ..."

L.L. Bean, Inc., 2004.
This paper discusses the marketing case of the L.L. Bean Company, which operates on three channels, including catalog, Internet, and retail stores.

Abstract
This paper explains that L.L. Bean experienced a slight decline in growth because of increasing competition and other market forces, which requires more research about the existing business to decide the proper strategies. The author points out that L.L. Bean's emphasis on customer service sets it apart from some other catalog companies and helps in its marketing. The paper stresses that inventory management is a key issue that must be addressed because goods now are shipped ready for the direct channel and not for the retail channel; therefore, a dual flow system in which the goods are sent ready-for-sale to retail centers would eliminate time and costs for a considerable savings of about $.95 a unit.

Abstract
The thesis of this paper contends that internet sales of L.L. Bean and Land's End have impacted their apparel market. The paper attempts to demonstrate this thesis by examining the sales record, corporate image, and customer relationships of both companies since commencing with a web presence.
From the Paper
"In order to determine the degree to which L.L. Bean and Lands? End have been successful in further evolving and establishing their traditional catalog and retail store customer base to the online shopping world, one measure have success may be evidence of customer satisfaction in addition to customer purchases. According to Hill (2002), when attempting to determine the degree to which customers are satisfied with an online shopping experience, the best measure of customer satisfaction is the likelihood that a customer will return to the site to shop again. While some have suggested that customer relationships are best understood by examining a group of attributes, including use of email and other channels to connect with the company, the real indicator of customer satisfaction is the degree to which they will make online purchases from the company on a repeat basis."

The Los Angeles Riots, 2005.

Abstract
A twentieth century event that was sparked by racial controversy was the Los Angeles riots following the not guilty verdicts of four white officers accused of beating black motorist Rodney King. The paper shows that the riots in April of 1992 caused extensive damage totaling in the hundreds of millions and caused the deaths of at least 45 persons. By far it was the worst civil unrest of this century, surpassing even the Watts riot of 1965 in terms of destruction and lives lost. The paper shows that beyond the physical and economic damage to L.A., was the damage to race relations caused by the riots. Even though the events of the Rodney King beating involved white officers and a black man, the riots knew no racial boundaries as almost every race was affected by the violence, looting and destruction of Los Angeles.
From the Paper
"The officers justified their actions by stating they thought King was on the powerful mind-altering drug, PCP, but tests showed he only had alcohol in his blood (Wall, 2). In light of all this evidence, the all-white Simi Valley jury determined the officers were not guilty of any wrongdoing in the beating. Even though King may have resisted arrest and attempted to attack an officer, no human being or animal deserved such a beating. The television viewers; black, white, Latino, or Asians who saw the videotaped beating knew that this was excessive use of force and that King's civil rights had been violated by these officers."

Urban Riots, 2007.
This paper explores four urban riots in the US that were manifestations of the same urban troubles.

Abstract
The paper discusses the causes behind urban riots and focuses on the Watts riot in 1965, the Newark riot in 1967, the Miami riot in 1980 and the Los Angeles riot in 1992. The paper shows how these riots were all triggered by police brutality perpetrated by white cops against black citizens. The paper demonstrates the racial profiling and the unfairness of the criminal justice system that aroused public tensions. The paper shows how rioting can be viewed as disorganized, yet pointed attempts to mobilize a disenfranchised population to achieve political power. The paper concludes that cities and their governments must learn from these four significant events in American urban history.
From the Paper
"Urban riots often indicate underlying social unrest. The largest riots in modern American history can be traced to race and class issues that transcend and predate the proximate cause of the rioting. For example, the Watts riot in 1965, the Newark riot in 1967, the Miami riot in 1980, and the Los Angeles riot in 1992 were each triggered by striking similar events and were manifestations of the same urban troubles. In each of these cases, the rioting was triggered by white-on-black police brutality and jury verdicts that seemed unjust. The police brutality also relates to racial profiling in each of these riot incidents, reflecting injustices within law enforcement institutions."

Abstract
The paper traces the history of race riots in the U.S. during the 20th century, finding many similarities between the sources of the problems, but also many differences in the riot patterns and the variety of races involved. In order to illustrate this thesis, the writer compares the Watts riot in 1965 and the Los Angeles riot in 1992 in order to reveal developments in the face of race riots in the nineties.
From the Paper
"The Civil Rights Movement was born during the Eisenhower years from 1953 to 1961 and provided an united voice for the African Americans to protest against the racial discrimination that continued to linger within their communities (Walters 20). Led by Martin Luther King, Jr. and his advocates of non-violent direct action, the protesters from the Civil Rights Movements triggered violent responses from the white people that led to bloody riots. King?s strategy of using non-violent direction action to create tension and send fear into the white moderates of potential social disorder led to major riots (Ling 17). King?s Chicago Freedom Movement, designed to improve housing for the African-American people in Chicago triggered a violent response from thousands of angry white people who threw rocks and jeered at the protesters (Ralph 30)."

From the Paper
"The City of Los Angeles today is America's melting pot. With a fifth of its population born in another country, it is a place where by the twenty-first century the white populace will be in the minority while its economy will continue to change and transform itself based on national and international business decisions. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the history of Los Angeles with particular emphasis on the city's black community and the district of Watts. The investigation will survey how the city's economic growth affected its development and how the community survives today within the confines of the country's second largest urban region.
Though considered a young city by most standards, Los Angeles has had its share of economic fluctuations which have dramatically shaped and reshaped its urban landscape."

From the Paper
"Public disorder in the form of riots in the United States is almost as old as the country. While riots have never reached the stage of becoming a way of life in the United States, neither can their occurrence be considered a rarity. During the mid-1960s?1963 through 1967, public disorder very nearly did become a way of life in the country?s urban areas?particularly so in the major population centers.
This research examines the phenomenon of riots in the United States. In this examination, an attempt is made to identify the causes of urban riots, and an effort is made to suggest what communities and government could have done to preclude ... "

Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons and events that led to the outbreak of the Newark riots. It explains that poverty, unemployment, and their resultant social effects were major instigators of the riot. The author also describes the violence, vandalism and police brutality surrounding the event. It expands on how the Newark riots served as a violent catalyst for widespread social change in America.
From the Paper
"With no blacks in positions of political influence in the city, the Central Ward community felt powerless in the face of institutionalized racism and corruption. The African-American community experienced the first twinges of empowerment when federal funding for low-income neighborhoods enabled some political organization in African-American neighborhoods like Central Ward. However, a sudden stop in federal monies resulted in yet more anger and tension, leading to an escalated rhetoric of violence. In all likelihood, the very idea of organized African-American community empowerment threatened the status quo of a white-dominated society."
