Reviews

Beverly Brewster is a passionate advocate for the principle of law and order in society. Through her Foundation for Policing and Justice, she channels her dedication and works to preserve a safe, civilized society. She does this by advocating in communities for both the support of policing and laws that provide consequences for criminal behavior. She has the tenacity to educate the public on the degradation that will result if these two societal foundation principles are devalued. This book is a manifestation of her work.

Outstanding! The book is a fact-based study of the hurdles impacting law enforcement's ability to successfully perform the public safety mission. The book addresses some of the causations of crime that most people are unwilling or afraid to discuss.
