Paul Takagi

Paul Takao Takagi (May 3, 1923 – September 13, 2015)[1][2] was a Japanese-American sociologist, criminologist, and professor at the University of California, Berkeley. He taught at the University's School of Criminology until it shut down in 1974. Unlike all of the other faculty members at the School, however, he remained at Berkeley after the School's closure, since he had already been granted tenure.[3] He was a noted advocate for social justice and community policing, and was a key figure in the Third World Liberation Front strikes of 1968 on Berkeley's campus.[2] A leading scholar of radical criminology,[4] he was also active in researching racial disparities in police use of force in the United States.[5] In 2008, he received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Association for Asian American Studies.[6]
