I meet him there in East Oakland, a neighborhood that police say bears the brunt of the city’s robberies. Morris was recently robbed at gunpoint outside a check-cashing place. He didn’t want to use his real name for fear that speaking out would make him more of a target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody asked me, like, they see my watch, they was like, ‘What kind of watch is that?’ And then another guy came from around the corner, there they both just … ‘Give me everything’. Took my wallet, my watch, all the little stuff I had on me,” says Morris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it wasn’t the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know you feel like a sucker,” he shrugs, “stripped you for all [your] dignity, like, you don’t feel like a man no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robbery — it’s one of the quintessential crimes that we fear when we think of strangers. Overall, robberies in Oakland were down substantially over the past year — by almost a \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak050910.pdf\">third\u003c/a>. That’s after they peaked at 4,838 in 2013, or more than 13 a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That year also registered as the city’s worst for the crime since at least \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak050833.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1969\u003c/a>. Cops, criminologists and community leaders disagree about what is driving the ups and downs in the city’s crime rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gangs or Gentrification?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent says Oakland’s 50 or so gangs shifted the way they make money — from drugs to, in part, robberies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to get significantly more drug hotline calls than we do now,” says Whent, “many more calls about street drug dealing. And that’s really reduced. And so what have those groups and gangs done? Well, we have seen the increase obviously in the street robberies and fraud crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent says police had some success curbing those robberies in 2014. He points to Ceasefire, the city’s chief anti-violence strategy. Its purpose is to reduce homicides, which fell 10 percent last year. But Whent says the heavy focus on certain gang members is turning the robbery rate around, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youth Uprising Director Olis Simmons is skeptical of Whent’s view that gangs were responsible for the increase in robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big-time crime syndicates \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Drug-Kingpin-s-Sentencing-Ends-Bloody-Era-in-2946651.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went away\u003c/a> 20 years ago,” says Simmons, “What we see is acts of desperation. People are robbing their neighbors, their community members, out of hunger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other Oakland community leaders say the surge in robberies was more like a canary in the coal mine. A sign that as Oakland enters its so-called renaissance, the economic gap is widening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Oakland is realizing the dream of economic vitality — a renaissance right? — sadly, there is a concentration of people who are locked out,” says Simmons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she thinks for many years those people, largely in East and West Oakland, felt that as the city did better, their neighborhoods would also turn around; they’d get a job, maybe a store would open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realization that it’s never going to happen for (them) is what’s new,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons says the best way for Oakland to fight crime is by helping the community. That means helping kids like Morris, who says he empathizes with the people who stole from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just be the lack of having, like, because if a kid got everything he needs, he don’t need to be in no gang, he don’t need to be out here stealing. Why?” asks Morris, “‘Cause he got his own. But somebody else that ain’t got nothing to take. … ‘Hey, What I’m gonna lose? Go to jail? I ain’t got nothing out here anyway.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A power relationship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none of that reasoning convinces UC Berkeley crime expert Franklin Zimring. The first thing to know about robbery, he says, is that it’s usually not about money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You go into a 7-Eleven store and you come out with $93. And for this you’re risking 10 years of your life in Pelican Bay,” says Zimring, a law professor at Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says robbery as a criminal career nets vastly less than minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Robbery is on a risk/reward basis literally the worst way of making a criminal living you can imagine,” he says. “So you have to think that there’s a mix of recreation and power and a playing out of envy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities face the pressures of gentrification and displacement, but not all of them can claim Oakland’s distinction of robbery capital of the U.S. for three consecutive years, according to the latest FBI \u003ca href=\"http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how does Zimring explain the uptick? High-status recreation, he says, or put more simply, a fad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when it comes to the drop, he says crediting Ceasefire might be wishful thinking. Zimring says catching even a few robbers could account for last year’s dip. Others who study crime, such as UCLA’s Mark Kleiman, agree, saying that nearly 5,000 robberies could easily be accomplished by just 100 people over the course of a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the statistics reveal just how hard it may be for Oakland to reduce crime overall. As robberies dropped last year, drug crimes rose once again, by about the same percentage.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cops, criminologists and community leaders disagree about what is driving the ups and downs in the city’s crime rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gangs or Gentrification?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent says Oakland’s 50 or so gangs shifted the way they make money — from drugs to, in part, robberies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to get significantly more drug hotline calls than we do now,” says Whent, “many more calls about street drug dealing. And that’s really reduced. And so what have those groups and gangs done? Well, we have seen the increase obviously in the street robberies and fraud crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent says police had some success curbing those robberies in 2014. He points to Ceasefire, the city’s chief anti-violence strategy. Its purpose is to reduce homicides, which fell 10 percent last year. But Whent says the heavy focus on certain gang members is turning the robbery rate around, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youth Uprising Director Olis Simmons is skeptical of Whent’s view that gangs were responsible for the increase in robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big-time crime syndicates \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Drug-Kingpin-s-Sentencing-Ends-Bloody-Era-in-2946651.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went away\u003c/a> 20 years ago,” says Simmons, “What we see is acts of desperation. People are robbing their neighbors, their community members, out of hunger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other Oakland community leaders say the surge in robberies was more like a canary in the coal mine. A sign that as Oakland enters its so-called renaissance, the economic gap is widening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Oakland is realizing the dream of economic vitality — a renaissance right? — sadly, there is a concentration of people who are locked out,” says Simmons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she thinks for many years those people, largely in East and West Oakland, felt that as the city did better, their neighborhoods would also turn around; they’d get a job, maybe a store would open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realization that it’s never going to happen for (them) is what’s new,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons says the best way for Oakland to fight crime is by helping the community. That means helping kids like Morris, who says he empathizes with the people who stole from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just be the lack of having, like, because if a kid got everything he needs, he don’t need to be in no gang, he don’t need to be out here stealing. Why?” asks Morris, “‘Cause he got his own. But somebody else that ain’t got nothing to take. … ‘Hey, What I’m gonna lose? Go to jail? I ain’t got nothing out here anyway.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A power relationship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none of that reasoning convinces UC Berkeley crime expert Franklin Zimring. The first thing to know about robbery, he says, is that it’s usually not about money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You go into a 7-Eleven store and you come out with $93. And for this you’re risking 10 years of your life in Pelican Bay,” says Zimring, a law professor at Cal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says robbery as a criminal career nets vastly less than minimum wage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Robbery is on a risk/reward basis literally the worst way of making a criminal living you can imagine,” he says. “So you have to think that there’s a mix of recreation and power and a playing out of envy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many cities face the pressures of gentrification and displacement, but not all of them can claim Oakland’s distinction of robbery capital of the U.S. for three consecutive years, according to the latest FBI \u003ca href=\"http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2013/crime-in-the-u.s.-2013\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So how does Zimring explain the uptick? High-status recreation, he says, or put more simply, a fad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And when it comes to the drop, he says crediting Ceasefire might be wishful thinking. Zimring says catching even a few robbers could account for last year’s dip. Others who study crime, such as UCLA’s Mark Kleiman, agree, saying that nearly 5,000 robberies could easily be accomplished by just 100 people over the course of a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the statistics reveal just how hard it may be for Oakland to reduce crime overall. As robberies dropped last year, drug crimes rose once again, by about the same percentage.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Alex Emslie/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The data, while striking, are noticeably incomplete and the method for collecting them inaccurate on several fronts. For one, the tally relies entirely on voluntary self-reporting by local and state police agencies. In other words, these departments are not required to give up any information. And whereas the vast majority of police departments around the country provides the FBI each year with more common crime data -- such as a city's total homicide rate -- fewer agencies elect to submit justifiable homicide figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the tally doesn't include \"unjustifiable homicide by police.\" In fact, that's not even a classification in the FBI's crime reporting database. And because the \"justifiability\" -- aka legality -- of an incident is determined by a subsequent investigation that may extend beyond the reporting year, the data from the previous year may never be updated once the case is resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder recently criticized the lack of transparency as \"unacceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The troubling reality is that we lack the ability right now to comprehensively track the number of incidents of either uses of force directed at police officers or uses of force by police,” Holder said during \u003ca href=\"//www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/15/eric-holder-slams-unacceptable-lack-info-police-sh/#ixzz3Q4uaESvl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a recent Justice Department ceremony\u003c/a> honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Police departments and state agencies, he added, should be legally required to report these incidents to the FBI., a measure that would likely require congressional approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"EOgXrNWpw2tFQrR2Plz1uwoxdUDkRFeP\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even given the FBI's lowball figures, the United States' officer-involved fatality rates dwarf those of most other industrialized nations. From 2009 to mid-2012 in England and Wales, police officers reportedly discharged their firearms a total of 18 times, killing \u003ca href=\"http://www.channel4.com/news/police-fatal-shooting-trigger-happy-fact-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine civilians\u003c/a>. And not a single police shooting death was reported there in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.channel4.com/news/police-fatal-shooting-trigger-happy-fact-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2012 - 2013\u003c/a> reporting year. Rates for Germany, Australia and Japan are similarly low. These nations are, of course, much smaller than the U.S. and have significantly stricter gun control laws. But the discrepancy is startling nonetheless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a comprehensive national database on officer-related fatalities, a handful of independent crowd-sourced projects have recently sprouted online. Sites like \u003ca href=\"fatalencounters.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fatal Encounters\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://regressing.deadspin.com/were-compiling-every-police-involved-shooting-in-americ-1624180387\">Deadspin\u003c/a> compile user-submitted local reports of police-involved killings (justifiable or not). The nonprofit \u003ca href=\"//www.gunviolencearchive.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gun Violence Archive\u003c/a> project, which tabulates incidents of gun violence in the general population, also collects data on officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the most reliable of the batch is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.killedbypolice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Killed By Police\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, an anonymously managed project that compiles mainstream media reports submitted by individual users through Facebook. To date, the site lists 1,952 officer-related killings nationally since May 2013, when it began collecting data. Of these, 1,103 were reported in 2014 and 81 have already been reported since the start of 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screenname u-inlineBlock u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">In a recent audit of the site, the news publication \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/another-much-higher-count-of-police-homicides/\">FiveThirtyEight\u003c/a> said it \"confirmed that the links represented legitimate stories,\" revealing dramatically higher incident rates than suggested by FBI reporting. And although the site clearly does not take a neutral stance on the issue (\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/pigstatenews\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@PigStateNews\u003c/a>, the associated Twitter account, provides a none too subtle indication) the data we examined speaks for itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In our analysis of the site, we looked specifically at officer-involved deaths in California in 2014.

For one, the tally relies entirely on voluntary self-reporting by local and state police agencies. In other words, these departments are not required to give up any information. And whereas the vast majority of police departments around the country provides the FBI each year with more common crime data -- such as a city's total homicide rate -- fewer agencies elect to submit justifiable homicide figures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, the tally doesn't include \"unjustifiable homicide by police.\" In fact, that's not even a classification in the FBI's crime reporting database. And because the \"justifiability\" -- aka legality -- of an incident is determined by a subsequent investigation that may extend beyond the reporting year, the data from the previous year may never be updated once the case is resolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder recently criticized the lack of transparency as \"unacceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The troubling reality is that we lack the ability right now to comprehensively track the number of incidents of either uses of force directed at police officers or uses of force by police,” Holder said during \u003ca href=\"//www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jan/15/eric-holder-slams-unacceptable-lack-info-police-sh/#ixzz3Q4uaESvl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a recent Justice Department ceremony\u003c/a> honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Police departments and state agencies, he added, should be legally required to report these incidents to the FBI., a measure that would likely require congressional approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even given the FBI's lowball figures, the United States' officer-involved fatality rates dwarf those of most other industrialized nations. From 2009 to mid-2012 in England and Wales, police officers reportedly discharged their firearms a total of 18 times, killing \u003ca href=\"http://www.channel4.com/news/police-fatal-shooting-trigger-happy-fact-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">nine civilians\u003c/a>. And not a single police shooting death was reported there in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.channel4.com/news/police-fatal-shooting-trigger-happy-fact-check\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2012 - 2013\u003c/a> reporting year. Rates for Germany, Australia and Japan are similarly low. These nations are, of course, much smaller than the U.S. and have significantly stricter gun control laws. But the discrepancy is startling nonetheless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the absence of a comprehensive national database on officer-related fatalities, a handful of independent crowd-sourced projects have recently sprouted online. Sites like \u003ca href=\"fatalencounters.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fatal Encounters\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://regressing.deadspin.com/were-compiling-every-police-involved-shooting-in-americ-1624180387\">Deadspin\u003c/a> compile user-submitted local reports of police-involved killings (justifiable or not). The nonprofit \u003ca href=\"//www.gunviolencearchive.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gun Violence Archive\u003c/a> project, which tabulates incidents of gun violence in the general population, also collects data on officer-involved shootings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the most reliable of the batch is \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.killedbypolice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Killed By Police\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, an anonymously managed project that compiles mainstream media reports submitted by individual users through Facebook. To date, the site lists 1,952 officer-related killings nationally since May 2013, when it began collecting data. Of these, 1,103 were reported in 2014 and 81 have already been reported since the start of 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"ProfileHeaderCard-screenname u-inlineBlock u-dir\" dir=\"ltr\">In a recent audit of the site, the news publication \u003ca href=\"http://fivethirtyeight.com/datalab/another-much-higher-count-of-police-homicides/\">FiveThirtyEight\u003c/a> said it \"confirmed that the links represented legitimate stories,\" revealing dramatically higher incident rates than suggested by FBI reporting.

Earlier this month, she and her husband sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coalicion Latinoamericana Internacional operates out of a suite of cramped offices in an L.A. high-rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I show up unannounced one afternoon, a handful of people are sitting on threadbare sofas in a reception area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera interrupts a meeting with a couple of clients and invites me into his office.

This information is wrong. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the plaintiff’s attorney, the lawsuit is active and pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the lawsuits, Cabrera faces numerous complaints with the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs. But it’s unclear what action, if any, the office is taking against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director Brian Stiger says the office is sending immigration services fraud warnings of its own via news conferences, workshops and other public outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the deal is too good to be true, it is probably a scam,” says Stiger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says scammers will make impossible promises about Obama’s deportation relief, even though the application process won’t begin for months.

Maria asked that we not use her last name because of her legal status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In glossy pamphlets and in splashy Spanish-language newspaper ads, the group claims to be a staunch advocate of immigrant rights and a savvy legal services provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria says the group’s director, Oswaldo Cabrera, promised to help her husband, Dore, a legal permanent resident, become a naturalized U.S. citizen and then help attain legal status for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We began to give him money and money and money,” explains Maria in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10411795\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 425px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Coalicion.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10411795\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Coalicion-400x455.jpg\" alt=\"An ad for Coalicion Latinoamericana Internacional, a nonprofit legal consultancy that also claims to be an immigrant rights advocate.

And that if we didn’t play by his rules, he could have us deported.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maria says that when she tried to get the couple’s money back, Cabrera refused. Earlier this month, she and her husband sued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coalicion Latinoamericana Internacional operates out of a suite of cramped offices in an L.A. high-rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I show up unannounced one afternoon, a handful of people are sitting on threadbare sofas in a reception area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera interrupts a meeting with a couple of clients and invites me into his office. He claims to hold some kind of international license that allows him to dole out legal advice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yeah, in the law profession,” says Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked to provide that license, he can’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cabrera also claims to run a nonprofit in good standing with the state of California. Not according to the California Secretary of State’s Office. It recently yanked Cabrera’s nonprofit status. When I present Cabrera with a page from the secretary’s website showing his suspension, he claims the information is wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No, no,” says Cabrera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is stopped, this is no more,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor does Cabrera’s name or the name of his organization come up on a search of bonded immigration consultants at the secretary of state website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A follow-up call to a California secretary of state representative confirms that Cabrera is not legally licensed to be operating as a paid legal consultant or attorney to immigrants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the lawsuit brought against Cabrera by former clients Maria and her husband, Cabrera says he hasn't seen it and could not comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another lawsuit filed last year by a different former client claims, among other things, that Cabrera abandoned the man on the eve of a deportation hearing -- promising and then failing to provide an attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not true, it’s not true because the guy is living in this country,” says Cabrera. “It’s never deportation, never. This information is wrong. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the plaintiff’s attorney, the lawsuit is active and pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the lawsuits, Cabrera faces numerous complaints with the Los Angeles County Department of Consumer Affairs. But it’s unclear what action, if any, the office is taking against him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Director Brian Stiger says the office is sending immigration services fraud warnings of its own via news conferences, workshops and other public outreach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the deal is too good to be true, it is probably a scam,” says Stiger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says scammers will make impossible promises about Obama’s deportation relief, even though the application process won’t begin for months. Outlaw legal consultants can also charge exorbitant fees for things immigrants might be able to do themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is no way to be first in line, there is no guarantee about an application being approved,” explains Stiger. “And many times these immigration consultants, certainly the fraudulent ones, are charging more money than it costs to apply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca title=\"Los Angeles Office of Consumer Affairs \" href=\"http://da.lacounty.gov/immigration.htm\">The \u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://da.lacounty.gov/immigration.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office,\u003c/a> the L.A. city attorney and the California attorney general all pledge to crack down on outlaw immigration service providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The L.A.
