This text was required reading on a recent promotional exam. I had to memorize the reasons police are ineffective at fighting crime, how the Broken Windows theory is wrong, and how COMSTAT and the NYPD had nothing to do with the drop in the murder rate in NYC. If you believe that the police can do nothing about crime and should concentrate on fighting poverty and improving social conditions, this is the book for you. If you would like to learn about how to build rapport between a community and it's police force, go somewhere else. It made me angry to read this book, knowing that it is being forced upon police supervisors who have to memorize this information in order to suspend common sense and test well. If you think Dirty Harry carried a .357 (even the pop culture references are wrong) this is the book to buy.
