CROSSING THE LINE: WHEN COPS BECOME CRIMINALS | LIZA GROBLER IN JOHANNESBURG

Subtitle: When Cops Become Criminals Author: Liza Grobler Publisher: Jacana Media () ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: Very Good Binding: Softcover Pages: 280 Dimensions: 23.5 x 15.5 x 2.1 cm +++ by Liza Grobler +++ An in depth examination of police corruption and crime in South Africa, with a brief focus on three international policing agencies: The New South Wales Police Force, London's Metropolitan Police and the New York Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau. Highlighted is the vast array of crimes committed by members of the SAPS - ranging from bribery and corruption to police brutality, robbery, rape and murder - and includes corrupt officers' symbiotic relationships with gangs and syndicates. Information has been provided by SAPS interviewees as well as specialists in the field of policing and police criminality. The interviews are backed up by media and literature illustrations, and invaluable input on the topic is provided by police offenders, all of whom were incarcerated when the interviews were done. The book also looks at the issue of what to do about police crime and corruption in terms of appropriate interventions.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers.
