Captain Snow, a veteran police officer and acclaimed author of
Protecting Your Life, Home, and Property, gives us a startling
look, as only a police officer can, at the violence, tears, and
terror that shatter homes and lives across America, and tells us
what we can do about it. Walking us through the course of a regular
night shift, we witness, first-hand, tragic and vividly real scenes
of abuse that are becoming all too commonplace. We learn the
heart-wrenching story of a woman who has suffered burns, broken
limbs, and even a fractured skull at the hands of her brutal
husband, but is too terrified to report his crimes. We see the
chilling evidence of neglect in a bare, airless, padlocked room
where a son has imprisoned his elderly mother without sufficient
food, medicine, or human contact, awaiting her death. And we hear
the stuttered excuses of a father lying about the scald marks on
his baby's legs as the child screams in agony. Abusers, we
discover, come from every walk of life, and no one is untouched by
the powerful consequences of violence, neglect, and emotional and
sexual abuse in this country. Snow goes on to reveal the tactics of
violence and terror these abusers all wield - whether against a
parent, wife, or child. More importantly, he shows that this
hateful legacy of abuse need not continue. At the heart of this
book is an urgent, persistent question: How can we stop these
horrible crimes? With an insider's knowledge forged from years of
experience on the police force, combined with in-depth research,
Snow provides a refreshingly practical perspective: tough solutions
to conquer this growing crime. Taking on the ranks of the police,
the courts, and public education, he sounds a clarion call for
reform and reeducation. Captain Snow also gives invaluable advice -
in this less-than-perfect world - to victims and their loved ones
on how they can now use the police and legal system to their best
advantage in fighting against abuse.
