Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America

Jill Leovy embedded with Los Angeles homicide detectives to investigate why Black men are murdered at such disproportionate rates and why their killers so rarely face justice. Through the story of one detective and one grieving family, she argues that the state's failure to solve Black homicides — not over-policing — lies at the heart of urban violence. Shortlisted for the NBCC Award.
