Reviews
"Drawing from years of monthly twenty-four-hour duty--and immersion journalism--Brooks guides us past two barbed-wire-encircled arguments ('the police are racist and unnecessary' and 'get rid of a few bad apples and all's fine') to a radically better way of staying safe. A brilliant, important, timely book and gobble-up read." --Arlie Russell Hochschild, author of Strangers in Their Own Land: Anger and Mourning on the American Right " Tangled Up in Blue is a tour de police force that is disconcerting, elegiac, and mad funny, frequently all on the same page. With wicked intelligence, sparkling writing, and boundless empathy, Rosa Brooks tells cop stories out of school that will inspire and enrage everyone from woke activists to the 'blue lives matter' crew. Nine-one-one to my fellow citizens--proceed to read this book immediately." --Paul Butler, author of Chokehold: Policing Black Men "At significant personal and professional risk, Rosa Brooks put herself 'at the edge of inside' to see and feel the perspective of a cop on the street, without losing her academic and professional understanding of the constitutional role of policing in a democratic society. The stories lay bare the imperfect, and sometimes touching humanity of front-line officers and the despair of the people who are trapped in a cycle of poverty, poor decisions, and a criminal justice system designed for everything but justice. Her generous candor in sharing her personal story resonated deeply with my own personal experience as a daughter, sister, wife, and mother trying to navigate a profession that isn't always welcoming to women, especially women with strong ideas about challenging the status quo." --Sue Rahr, executive director of the Washington State Criminal Justice Training Commission, executive fellow at the National Police Foundation, and former sheriff of King County, WA "I challenge you to find another book about policing that is more objective. Brooks comes across neither as pro-police nor anti-police--a feat all the more impressive and important in our polarized country. Brooks brings you into the station house and out to the streets, showing how policing is both far more mundane, and far more profound, than it appears in 'reality' cop shows. Her perspective is fresh and nuanced, illuminating aspects of policing I'd never before considered (and I've been considering policing for over two decades)." --Christy Lopez, former deputy chief in the Special Litigation Section of the Civil Rights Division at the U.S. Department of Justice and primary drafter of the Ferguson Report "It's so rare for such a smart, thoughtful person to put on a police uniform, patrol America's streets, and relate what it feels like with insight and authenticity. Getting American policing right requires understanding how it's experienced, and Rosa Brooks brings readers as close as they can get without taking the oath themselves." --Brandon del Pozo, chief of police (ret.), Burlington, VT, and former New York City police officer
Synopsis
Named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The Washington Post " Tangled Up in Blue is a wonderfully insightful book that provides a lens to critically analyze urban policing and a road map for how our most dispossessed citizens may better relate to those sworn to protect and serve." -- The Washington Post "Remarkable . . . Brooks has produced an engaging page-turner that also outlines many broadly applicable lessons and sensible policy reforms." -- Foreign Affairs Journalist and law professor Rosa Brooks goes beyond the "blue wall of silence" in this radical inside examination of American policing In her forties, with two children, a spouse, a dog, a mortgage, and a full-time job as a tenured law professor at Georgetown University, Rosa Brooks decided to become a cop. A liberal academic and journalist with an enduring interest in law's troubled relationship with violence, Brooks wanted the kind of insider experience that would help her understand how police officers make sense of their world--and whether that world can be changed. In 2015, against the advice of everyone she knew, she applied to become a sworn, armed reserve police officer with the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Police Department. Then as now, police violence was constantly in the news. The Black Lives Matter movement was gaining momentum, protests wracked America's cities, and each day brought more stories of cruel, corrupt cops, police violence, and the racial disparities that mar our criminal justice system. Lines were being drawn, and people were taking sides. But as Brooks made her way through the police academy and began work as a patrol officer in the poorest, most crime-ridden neighborhoods of the nation's capital, she found a reality far more complex than the headlines suggested. In Tangled Up in Blue , Brooks recounts her experiences inside the usually closed world of policing. From street shootings and domestic violence calls to the behind-the-scenes police work during Donald Trump's 2016 presidential inauguration, Brooks presents a revelatory account of what it's like inside the "blue wall of silence." She issues an urgent call for new laws and institutions, and argues that in a nation increasingly divided by race, class, ethnicity, geography, and ideology, a truly transformative approach to policing requires us to move beyond sound bites, slogans, and stereotypes. An explosive and groundbreaking investigation, Tangled Up in Blue complicates matters rather than simplifies them, and gives pause both to those who think police can do no wrong--and those who think they can do no right., Named one of the best nonfiction books of the year by The Washington Post " Tangled Up in Blue is a wonderfully insightful book that provides a lens to critically analyze urban policing and a road map for how our most dispossessed citizens may better relate to those sworn to protect and serve." -- The Washington Post "Remarkable . . .
