A powerful book that examines so many issues that are surrounding us today. Why is there so much black on black crime? What amount of resources are devoted to solving homicides in poor neighborhoods? How can we change the system for the better?
Jill Leovy has written about homicides in LA and here focuses on a few crimes and the impact they have on the neighborhood, the families, the public servants. This is a sociological study on the one hand and the story of a specific incident and the family involved. I'm not sure which has more impact but this is one of my favorites of the year so far.
