Produktbeschreibung

In New York during the 1980s and early 1990s crime was seen, justifiably, as out of control. Then, between 1993 and 1996, New York City's murder rate decreased by fifty percent. Back from the Brink is an unofficial police history and narrative of the people and events that made New York City the safest big city in America.
