Hookers, Trick and Cops

In this thought-provoking and highly entertaining book, retired police officer Loren Christensen paints a vivid picture of the asphalt world of flesh and fantasy where hookers, tricks, and cops commingle, and sometimes collide. The stories in this book- told by cops and prostitutes themselves- reveal the dark humor, poignancy, sadness, sordidness, and violence that company the world's oldest profession. Some will make you laugh out loud, others will make you wince, a few may offend you, but all will educate you about the reality of street prostitution. One of the most important lessons in here for cops is that, far from being a victimless crime, prostitution (and the other crimes associated with it) affects everyone in one way or another. You don't learn this stuff in the police academy.
