What Members Thought
Fourteen years of research, conveyed through skilled, compelling narrative and ethnography. If you have any interest in understanding our broken criminal justice system, the ties between slavery, racism, incarceration, and urban violence, and what lies behind the declarative statement "Black Lives Matter," this book is essential reading. This book couldn't be more timely or necessary to our national conversation.

Another book to make me mad about the way human beings treat (kill) each other. Well researched, written and narrated. One positive is the note at the end that the homicide rate in L.A. has gone done since the events in this book.
