July 07, 2009: This book has a lot of information that's useful if you want to write about the police. I wish he'd put in something about how interrogations are conducted, though. Furthermore, one problem the book had is that it assumes that the police are always the good guys and that they're always right. From my own experience, that isn't true at all.
