Book Reviews of The Turnaround: How America's Top Cop Reversed the Crime Epidemic

Book Review: A well-written blend of autobiography and policy analysis.
Summary: 5 Stars

The former Commissioner of the New York Police Department takes the reader on an odyssey which was his career in American Policing. From his early years with Boston, through successful tenures with the New York Transit Police, Metro Police, the Boston Police(again)and finally the NYPD. Insightful and thoughtful comments on the role of the police in society are coupled with a sober reflection on what works in policing. With a minimal amount of personal grand-standing, Bratton does even some scores with folks who were "obstacles" in his career. A pleasant and enlightening view of the world of the modern urban police administrator.
