Cop in the Hood

Never mind "The Wire." Here is the real thing. --The Wall Street Journal


Buy Cop in the Hood from Amazon.com

Cop in the Hood is an explosive insider’s story of what it is really like to be a police officer on the front lines of the war on drugs. Harvard-trained sociologist Peter Moskos became a cop in Baltimore’s roughest neighborhood —the Eastern District, also the location for the critically acclaimed HBO drama The Wire. He provides an unforgettable window into this world that outsiders never see. Those who read it will never view the badge the same way.

Interviewed in the Economist magazine

How nice to post something that will not mention... hmmm... shall we say, oh hell, let's not say anything at all.

There's a great short (16 minute) audio interview of me talking about crime and police and drug legalization.

I get a kick how the hook of the interview is the "liberal sociologist." By police standards, sure. But by liberal sociologist standards, I'm probably a fascist.
