23rd Precinct

Description:

"Journalist-photographer Arlene Schulman spent nearly two years in New York's 23rd Precinct, going out on patrol with daily shifts of officers into one of the toughest neighborhoods in the city: East Harlem.". "Schulman got to know all ranks - cops riding desks and sector cars, cops on foot patrol, and detectives on special details like homicide and robbery and narcotics. 23rd Precinct is a report, literally from street level, of what she witnessed occurring between police and citizens, and between the cops themselves: what they think, feel, and fear. It is a candid, raw portrait of what the job takes and what it gives back. Often told in the words of the officers themselves, it is a revelatory look at the men and women policing and experiencing an inner city precinct."--BOOK JACKET.
