Malcolm Klein, a sociologist at the University of Southern California, along with colleague Cheryl Maxson, conducted the first scientific examination of the early Los Angeles [[Crack Cocaine|crack]] market in early 1985. Their preliminary findings, published in a small social research journal, documented that "throughout the Black residential areas of Los Angeles County, there has been a recent, dramatic increase in cocaine dealing. . .in large part from the proliferation of cocaine 'rocks' and fortified 'rock houses' which, with certain refinements, constitute a new technology and organization for cocaine distribution."[^1]
