Promotional Details
""Black and Blue goes far beyond our 140-character, sound-bite world, exposing the complexities of historical inequities and widely differing perspectives affecting the police and community challenges of our day. Recent events, including convulsions of rioting and the brutal assassination of police officers, show us that America has some distance to go in building trust and confidence in the criminal justice process. This book makes clear that that process must include thoughtful, sustained leadership; open dialogue; transparency; and transformative investment across government.”—Ron Hosko, former assistant director, FBI “Black and Blue is a conversation starter for the world that can make a difference. A book like this is rare. It's easier to say what people want to hear, but Pegues acknowledges the history on both sides in a balanced way.” —Bahiyyah M. Muhammad, PhD, Howard University, founding professor of Policing Inside-Out
