Summary:  "The longstanding rift between law enforcement and people of color. CBS News correspondent Jeff Pegues provides unbiased facts, statistics, and perspectives from both sides of the community-police divide. Pegues has rare access to top law enforcement officials, including former FBI Director James Comey and police chiefs in major cities. He interviewed police union leaders, community activists, and others at the heart of this crisis - people on both sides who are trying to push American law enforcement in a new direction. How do police officers perceive the people of color who live in high-crime areas? How are they viewed by the communities that they police? Pegues explores these questions through interviews not only with police chiefs, but also officers on the ground, both black and white. He goes to the front lines of the debate as crime spikes in some of the nation's major cities. What he found will surprise you as police give a candid look at how their jobs have changed and become more dangerous. Turning to possible solutions, the author summarizes the best recommendations from police chiefs, politicians, and activists"--Provided by publisher.
