Illustrated with photos fingerprints mug shots letter from law enforcement agencies etc. From the publisher: "We've all seen how the criminal justice system is portrayed on TV. From NCIS and Law & Order to White Collar and Cops we re led to believe that we know how the system works. But how much do we really know about what goes on Author Robert Cromwell has actually been there behind the lines searching for truth and justice -- and finding that they are not always easily connected.
