Vachss is an extremely talented writer.

Her detailed and vivid account of the process of setting up a sex crimes bureau is truly fascinating.

She takes the readers on a journey through the challenges, the legal procedures, and the emotional toll that comes with establishing such an important institution.

The way she describes the efforts made to ensure that justice is served for the victims of sex crimes is both inspiring and eye-opening.

One can almost feel the determination and passion that Vachss has for this cause through her writing.

Her work not only provides valuable insights into the world of law enforcement but also raises awareness about the importance of addressing sex crimes and protecting the rights of the victims.

Overall, Vachss' writing is a must-read for anyone interested in this topic.

This book is almost certain to arouse your anger or bring up past traumas if you are a survivor of a sex crime.

It is beautifully written, and it reveals a great deal about the flaws in the system that is supposed to make things hard for sexual predators, not for their victims.

The author has done a remarkable job of highlighting the injustices and shortcomings that exist within the legal and social frameworks designed to protect those who have suffered from sexual crimes.

By delving deep into the experiences of survivors and the challenges they face, the book provides a powerful and eye-opening account of the reality of living with the aftermath of such crimes.

It serves as a wake-up call to society, urging us to take a closer look at how we handle these issues and to work towards creating a more just and equitable system for all.

I found the inner workings of the Queen's D.A.'s office and the NY City Court systems in the 1980's truly fascinating.

It was a world full of unique procedures, personalities, and challenges. The way cases were handled, the strategies employed, and the overall atmosphere were all quite captivating.

I'm sure it's very different now (hope it is anyway), as time has a way of bringing about changes and improvements.

And when compared to Oregon's, I found it to be quite distinct.

The legal landscapes of different regions often have their own characteristics and idiosyncrasies.

Most readers will无疑 be gripped by the details of some of the cases Vachss' prosecuted.

The stories he tells offer a rare glimpse into the complex and often gritty world of criminal law.

It's a world that is both fascinating and disturbing, filled with real people and real dramas.

Vachss' accounts bring this world to life in a way that is both engaging and thought-provoking.
