    Description

    GHETTO COPS is a journalistic account of the day-to-day activities of the police offers of Compton, Calif. A full decade before the popular TV show "Cops", Bruce Henderson, then a young newspaper reporter destined to become a #1 New York Times bestselling author (And the Sea Will Tell), spent the summer of 1974 riding with the Compton police. This first-person account of what he witnessed is not a mild story; Compton then had the highest per capita crime rate in the nation. The city and its cops were unmasked by a discerning, honest eye, and by a journalist unafraid to tell the truth. GHETTO COPS is like a wild ride in a police car down the wrong side of the street with the siren wailing and the gas pedal jammed down to the floorboard. It is the montage of street crime that most citizens never see, through incidents packed with drama, pathos, violence, even humor, and illustrated with award-winning photographer Phil Nelson's action photos.
