Cop in the Hood


Winner of the 2008 PROSE Award for Best Book in Sociology

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

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 location for the HBO drama The Wire. He provides an unforgettable window into a world outsiders never see. Those who read it will never view the badge the same way.

Baltimore Mayor Dixon Resigns

News travels, even to Bangkok. The story in the Sun.

And while I'm at it, here's a story about Commissioner Bealefeld wanting more foot patrol. Maybe he read my piece on foot patrol, "Angels in Blue: The Virtues of Foot Patrol."
