In Cop in the Hood, Moskos reveals the truths he learned on the midnight shift. Through Moskos's eyes, we see police academy graduates unprepared for the realities of the street, success measured by number of arrests, and the ultimate failure of the war on drugs. In addition to telling an explosive insider's story of what it is really like to be a police officer, he makes a passionate argument for drug legalization as the only realistic way to end drug violence--and let cops once again protect and serve. In a new afterword, Moskos describes the many benefits of foot patrol--or, as he calls it, "policing green." 606 $aPolice$zMaryland$zBaltimore$vBiography 615 0$aPolice 676 $a363.2092 700 $aMoskos$b Peter, $0869119 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910172217003321 996 $aCop in the Hood$91940353 997 $aUNINA
