The War on Cops

This book challenges the narrative of the Black Lives Matter movement, arguing that police officers are not the greatest threat facing young black males today. Through vivid reporting and rarely heard voices from high-crime neighborhoods, the book gives insight into the benefits of proactive policing and its impact on crime reduction. Other topics include controversial tactics such as stop and frisk and "broken windows" policing. The book also takes readers inside prisons and jails, refuting the argument that racist drug statutes and enforcement are the sole causes of black incarceration rates. This book is a call for a more informed and honest debate about policing, crime, and race before the gains of the last twenty years are lost.
