Jammed Up is the definitive study of the nature and causes of police misconduct.

They explore both the factors that predict officer misconduct, and the police departments responsesto that misconduct, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the issues. The conclusions they draw are important not just for what they can tell us about the NYPD but for how we are to understand the very nature of police misconduct.ACTUAL MISCONDUCT CASES An offduty officer driving his private vehicle stops at a convenience store on Long Island, after having just worked a 10 hour shift in Brooklyn, to steal a six pack of beer at gun point.
