David Kennedy put together the law enforcement recipe now known as the Boston Miracle during the crack epidemic of the 90s which cut gang and drug related violence in half. Since then, "Operation Ceasefire" has been refined and deployed--with astonishing success--in over 50 cities. With the endorsement of Attorney General Eric Holder and the National Drug Czar, Kennedy's ideas have become de facto national policy. Don't Shoot tells the story of Kennedy's long journey toward a solution which began with listening to people on the ground, and closing the trust gap between law enforcement and the community.--Provided by publisher.
