Wild Cowboys: Urban Marauders & the Forces of Order Paperback - 2005
by Robert Jackall
A bloody urban saga of how New York City street cops, detectives, and prosecutors pieced together a puzzle of narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and murders for hire, all centered around a vicious gang of Dominican youths known as the Wild Cowboys. Robert Jackall chronicles the details and the plea bargaining that culminated in prison terms for more than 40 gang members.
From the rear cover
In this bloody urban saga, Robert Jackall recounts how street cops, detectives, and prosecutors pieced together a puzzle-like story of narcotics trafficking, money laundering, and murders for hire, all centered on a vicious gang of Dominican youths known as the Wild Cowboys. Jackall chronicles the crime-scene investigations, frantic car chases, street arrests at gunpoint, interviews with informants, and knuckle-breaking plea bargaining that culminated in prison terms for more than forty gang members. But he also tells a cautionary tale - one of a society with irreconcilable differences, fraught with self-doubt and moral ambivalence, where the institutional logics of law and bureaucracy often have perverse outcomes.
