Ghettoside

"at one level just the story of one homicide detective in L.A., but is more profoundly about violence and policing and the ways in which our criminal justice system exhibits its contempt and devaluation of black lives."

"Meticulously reported and gracefully written, this book captures the horror of urban violence in Los Angeles."

"I adore Jill Leovy's book "Ghettoside""

"a fascinating account of life in the L.A.P.D. homicide division that should change the way we all understand the policing problem in America."
