The Resource  Unknown Label

Description: While many have transitioned from law enforcement to author, Joseph Wambaugh's work was groundbreaking in its depiction of police officers. Filling his procedurals with a variety of heroic, ethically flawed, scared, violent, and resentful officers, his work puts a very human face on the genre. Weaving gallows humor into non-stop action plots - frequently spiced up with italics and exclamation points - Wambaugh creates brutally realistic characters that evoke emotion in the reader. Whether writing fiction or non-fiction, Wambaugh's narratives create suspense and drama from the events that he chooses to depict. Start with: The Choirboys, fiction; The Onion Field, non-fiction
