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.

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.
