Subjects Homicide -- United States.   Murder -- California -- Los Angeles -- Case studies.

Requests:  0 Summary:  On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man was shot and killed on a sidewalk minutes away from his home, one of hundreds of young men slain in Los Angeles every year. His assailant ran down the street, jumped into an SUV, and vanished, hoping to join the vast majority of killers in American cities who are never arrested for their crimes. But as soon as the case was assigned to Detective John Skaggs, the odds shifted. Here is the kaleidoscopic story of the quintessential American murder -- one young black man slaying another -- and a determined crew of detectives whose creed was to pursue justice at all costs for its forgotten victims. Ghettoside is a fast-paced narrative of a devastating crime, an intimate portrait of detectives and a community bonded in tragedy, and a new lens into the great subject of murder in America -- why it happens and how the plague of killings might yet be stopped.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 364.1523 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 364.1523 Le Checked In Add Copy to MyList
