Fantastic Book. I couldn't put this book down. I read it in one day. The research for this book was intensive and really takes the reader right into these murder investigations. It touched me in the same way the TV Series "The Wire" did. I definitely recommend it!

Seeing a problem from many sides. As a young POC man I am ashamed to admit, I have always been ignorant on the subject of black history and the people effected by black on black crime. While this book focuses on Los Angeles you can understand this issues effect many areas across America. It was eye opener to not only see the life of the victims families but also the lives of the officers who investigate these crimes despite lack of resources. Easily a five out of five

Ghettoside. Superbly researched and written. This nonfiction work reads like a well written police procedural, except it's true. Asks a lot of questions in the issues it raises, but, sadly, not many answers. Perhaps there simply aren't any. Highly recommended.

Ghettoside. Very good book. At times meanders a bit, which may be the author's style. I teach high school in a high crime high poverty area and this book gives insight into what some of my kids lives are likely to be like. And it makes me wonder as the months and years go by after a student is gunned down and the case goes un solved if she may have a very very valid point.

President Obama needs to read this book. Maybe then Mr. President might understand that controlling guns isn't the answer to fighting the epidemic of gun violence, but that an overhaul of the justice system - starting with the way police deal with people and crime in the black community - is the solution he seeks. This books speaks to it all, the indifference with which law enforcement views African Americans, and the lack of value they place on their lives in general - the "NHI" scenario. Very informative and eye opening read. The correlations the author laid out in this book are not specific to just L.A. - it's anywhere there is predominately a black, urban population. Fix it, Mr. President.

New POV. Excellent research and storytelling. Personal perspective and up close observations changed my mindset in specific ways.

Ghetto side. Excellent book about crime and policing practices.

A 5-Star Read. Ghettoside is a great book. It is a sad story, well told, of the great personal and societal cost of the murder of Black men in America. It should be required reading for police department and prosecutors across the country.
