Joe Domanick (February 10, 1943) is an investigative reporter, the author of three books on law enforcement and criminal justice in California, and the former Associate Director of the Center on Media, Crime, and Justice at New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice (CUNY).[1] A historian of the LAPD[2] who has studied the department for decades,[3] Domanick has written extensively about Los Angeles politics[4] and is an expert on gang and community issues.[5] Domanick has been a Senior Fellow for Criminal Justice of USC’s Institute for Justice and Journalism[6][7] and a columnist and contributing reporter for the LA Weekly[8]. His investigative reporting for LA Weekly on the LAPD earned a 1991 Los Angeles Press Club award.[9][10]

Domanick has written four books:

  • Blue: The LAPD and the Battle to Redeem American Policing (Simon & Schuster, 2015). In his review of the book, New York Times editor Mark Horowitz wrote that, “Domanick gets everything right ... His dramatic account of the Los Angeles Police Department’s recent fall and rise is steeped in his city’s rich history, its fraught racial and ethnic conflicts and its complex demographics."[11]

Domanick holds a graduate degree from the USC Annenberg School of Journalism, where he studied under A.J. Langguth.[15]
