[who] continues to pound away at police officials . . . and other civic center hotshots. In pen and in person he's got a tough and hungry manner that makes them uncomfortable." He is a Senior Fellow in Criminal Justice at the University of Southern California Annenberg Institute for Justice and Journalism; he was formerly a journalism professor and senior fellow at USC Annenberg's Institute for Justice and Journalism.
Domanick's book "Blue: The LAPD and the Battle to Redeem American Policing" (2016) was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest.
