Matthew Desmond Quotes

The Year The Police Called Sherrena, Wisconsin Saw More Than One Victim Per Week Murdered By A Current Or Former Romantic Partner Or Relative. 10 After The Numbers Were Released, Milwaukee's Chief Of Police Appeared On The Local News And Puzzled Over The Fact That Many Victims Had Never Contacted The Police For Help. A Nightly News Reporter Summed Up The Chief's Views: "He Believes That If Police Were Contacted More Often, That Victims Would Have The Tools To Prevent Fatal Situations From Occurring In The Future." What The Chief Failed To Realize, Or Failed To Reveal, Was That His Department's Own Rules Presented Battered Women With A Devil's Bargain: Keep Quiet And Face Abuse Or Call The Police And Face Eviction.
