Professional Review: "In Turnaround, Bratton describes the police initiatives that led to these successes. Bratton and his peers used computer mapping to pinpoint crime hot spots and then cleaned up the areas using all the tools of law enforcement. Bratton starting hosting frequent departmental meetings in which police commanders from all districts of the city accountable, requiring them to report on progress and problems in their locales. This is not a page-turner or a masterful work of literature, but Bratton's ideas about curbing crime should be of interest to both those involved in law enforcement and regular people who are concerned about crime." --Jill Marquis
Customer Review: "Excellent overview of the effectiveness of community focused policing and effective management practices. A page turner throughout the entire book."

Why I Chose This Book: I chose this book because unlike most other book about epidemics it is not written about a disease. The book also appears to be very well written.
