Cop in the Hood


Winner of the 2008 PROSE Award for Best Book in Sociology

Buy Cop in the Hood from Amazon.com

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.

It's Baltimore, hon!


Lest people think Baltimore is all ghetto, I'll link to a Sun feature showing some of the homes in nice neighborhoods. [The low prices listed for these neighborhoods almost make me want to move back!]

Funny that Greektown, where I lived, didn't make the cut.
