Book #5 (October-November)
Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America by Jill Leovy
Book Club Meeting: Friday, November 20, 9:00 am
Book Leader: David Zimmer
Description: Join public safety policy fellow David Zimmer this fall as we read Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America. Set in South Los Angeles in the early 2000s, the book chronicles the overwhelming number of black-on-black murders in Los Angeles during that period and the downward spiral that occurred when law enforcement failed to solve those crimes. Case by case, tenacious investigation led to a rebound in accountability, improved legitimacy in the system, and reduced retaliatory violence — lessons that must remain evergreen in law enforcement.
