I didn't read the full article but I imagine this illustrates the darker side of CompStat.
Along the same lines, some book recommendations:
_Armed and Dangerous: Memoirs of a Chicago Policewoman_, by Gina Gallo
_Cop in the Hood: My Year Policing Baltimore's Eastern District_, by Peter Moskos
The second title covers the real-life setting for "The Wire."
- javanix 16y agoIf you want the real setting for "The Wire", read " The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood" by David Simon and Ed Burns. The depiction of one of today's most derelict inner-city neighborhoods is heartbreaking and disconcerting.
