When Cops Commit Crimes: Inside the First Database that Tracks America's Criminal Cops
"Twelve years ago, a criminal justice
master’s student named Philip Stinson got into an argument with his grad
school classmates about how often police officers committed crimes. His
peers, many of whom were cops themselves, thought police crime was
rare, but Stinson, himself a former cop and attorney, thought the
problem was bigger than anyone knew. He bet a pint of ale that he could
prove it.
...Stinson made good on his bet with an extensive police crime database
offering the most comprehensive look ever at how often American cops
are arrested, as well as some early insights into the consequences they
face for breaking the laws they’re supposed to enforce."
