What's it like to have the legal sanction to shoot and kill?
This compelling and often startling book answers this, and many
other questions about the oft-times violent world inhabited by
our nation's police officers. Written by a cop-turned university
professor who interviewed scores of officers who have shot
people in the course of their duties, Into the Kill Zone
presents firsthand accounts of the role that deadly force plays
in American police work. This brilliantly written book tells how
novice officers are trained to think about and use the power
they have over life and death, explains how cops live with the
awesome responsibility that comes from the barrels of their
guns, reports how officers often hold their fire when they
clearly could have shot, presents hair-raising accounts of what
it's like to be involved in shoot-outs, and details how shooting
someone affects officers who pull the trigger. From academy
training to post-shooting reactions, this book tells the
compelling story of the role that extreme violence plays in the
lives of America's cops.
