Synopsis

This book provides a glimpse into the lives of police officers in America and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing society. The author does this through narrative journalism that is at once personal and deeply informed by historical and sociological context. Through following the day-to-day work of a single police department, the author presents a microcosm of the state of policing in the '60s and '70s, an era that witnessed the rise of civil rights and other social movements, as well as a growing sense of mistrust between the police and the communities they serve. This book offers readers the chance to get a better understanding of the complex realities and complexities of police work during one of the most transformative times in America's recent history.
