The #1 New York Times bestselling author recounts riding along with street cops in California’s most dangerous city: Compton (Los Angeles Times).
In 1974, Compton, California, had the highest per capita crime rate in the nation. And Bruce Henderson, then a young, idealistic newspaper reporter, was determined to spend the summer riding with the Compton police. His journalistic accounts of the day-to-day activities he witnessed is a vivid narrative dramatic, violent, and at times humorous incidents.
Featuring illuminating pictures from award-winning photographer Phil Nelson, Ghetto Cops unmasks the city and its cops to reveal a side of street crime most of us never see.
“They bust a lot of ass in Compton. It’s a tough city that is a virtual powder keg…For the police, the streets are a battlefield and working on any shift is like going to war.” —Los Angeles Free Press
“You don’t put down Ghetto Copsonce you pick it up.” —Livermore (CA) Independent

    Crime is a young man’s game,” he explains. “The greatest rate of crimes is committed by males between the ages of 16 and 26 years. Half the residents of this city are under the age of 19.”
    He thinks many of the young gang members who take up so much of the police department’s time are scarred by self-hatred. “This comes from the lack of respect that exists in the homes they come from. The parents have no respect for themselves or the children, so it would be foolish to expect the children to have any respect for themselves or anyone else.
    “Children are born and they are allowed to grow and that is the extent of parental responsibility. The cause of crime here is unwanted and unloved children.”
