Rated Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America 10/10

Really stunning - a well-researched story about crime and policing in Los Angeles, particularly the stubborn problem of a high risk of violent death for African American men. Manages to be interesting and compelling in a journalistic way, a theoretical way, and a novelistic way, with really empathetic and closely-observed portraits of real people affected by homicide. A tough read, but quick and informative.
