Law & Disorder: How a Kid from the Bronx Became America's Top Drug Prosecutor - Paperback

by Robert Silbering (Author)

This is the real stuff. It's about the people who make the decisions on how cases are handled, the different units and bureaus in the prosecutor's office, and takes the reader into "the room where it happens," the place where decisions are made at the highest level and where policy is set.

Written from a prosecutor's standpoint, this book touches on the relevant and timely issues facing the country and law enforcement today. It deals with police and prosecutor relationships, drug legalization, the opioid crisis, and dealing with violent juvenile crime.
