Tapping into the Wire

Tapping into the Wire: The Real Urban Crisis by Peter Beilenson and Patrick McGuire, 214 pages.

Beilenson, the former Baltimore Public Health Commissioner, and McGuire, a former reporter for the Baltimore Sun, explore the connections between the issues raised in HBO's groundbreaking TV series The Wire and those found in many American Cities. Gun violence, the war on drugs, lack of needle exchanges or treatment options for drug abusers, and family and nutrition issues are all raised and discussed in this compelling book.
