Summary: Everyone should read this book
Comment: I envy the students of Law, Criminal Justice etc. who will be using Dr. Silverman's book as a text book. It is a very well written, exciting account of how the largest police departement in the world used enlightened management techiques and a sophisticated computer system to drastically reduce crime in New York City. Business students and corporate managers can benefit from reading the book as well.The Deming-like management techniques used by the NYPD would benefit any organization.This book is for anyone who wants to be well informed.
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent overview of the NYPD and its crime strategies
Comment: As a member of the NYPD, I found this book extremely informative and insightful. Eli Silverman was able to get an "insiders" look at the NYPD and describe accurately the organizational changes that brought about sweeping reductions in crime in New York City. It is a must read for any person in the criminal justice system.
Rating: 4
Summary: Good but Misleading
Comment: Dr. Silverman's book is an excellent description of the organizational change process orchestrated by the NYPD. Unfortunately, he failed to grasp the old saying that if something is too good to be true, it probably isn't true. The amount of crime and number of murders did drop substantially in New York as Silverman attests. What he fails to mention is that crime in Los Angeles, Boston, and San Francisco (to name a few cities) experienced nearly identical drops in crime during the same time frame and they did not implement NYPD's innovations. The NYPD was merely the beneficiaries of a trend (which actually started in 1991--before the innovations were implemented), rather than the trend's architect. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than to be good.
