A Scotland Yard insider blows the whistle on police corruption in âa book . . . that everyone concerned with law and order should readâ (Crime Review).  During David Woodlandâs nineteen years of service with the United Kingdomâs Metropolitan Police, the âthin blue lineâ came under intense pressure. In addition to the routine caseload of gang crime, murder, and armed robbery, Irish terrorist groups launched a vicious and prolonged campaign of violence.  Also, then-Police Commissioner Sir Robert Marks described the Criminal Intelligence Department as âthe most routinely corrupt organization in Londonâ, it may have been an exaggeration made out of angerâbut it devastated the publicâs faith in the CID.  New Scotland Yard Det. Inspector David Woodland was witness to a series of major scandals and now reveals why many otherwise honest detectives strove to bend the law to their own devices. Using his own cases and experience, he demonstrates the difficulties working in a depleted, demoralized police forceânot to mention fighting to overcome âthe enemy withinâ.  Crime and Corruption at The Yard is a gripping, shocking, and instructive insiderâs account of the darker side of police work. |
