as he takes you inside the tightly closed police world and one of its most explosive secrets: domestic violence in up 40% of police homes, which departments mostly ignore or let slide. This second edition gives a rare front-seat look at the amazing struggles and courage of abused police spouses worldwide - from Los Angeles to Montreal, Puerto Rico and South Africa - the ordeals of a handful of intrepid cops trying to change policing from within and why the abuse is an epidemic, one that may be getting worse. Police officers commit up to 15 times more domestic violence than the public. But most police departments don't fire an officer even after a criminal conviction for domestic violence. Officers in some departments are disciplined more severely for stealing or lying than for assaulting their wife or girlfriend. How abuse in police families affects us all and is closely linked to botched responses to 911 domestic calls at other homes, police killings of African Americans, police sexual harassment of women cops and young female drivers at traffic stops, and growing inequality in our communities.
