{"product_id":"mass-corruption-the-breakdown-of-law-and-order","title":"Mass Corruption: The Breakdown of Law and Order","description":"Mass Corruption is the definitive book on the Karen Read trial, exposing the web of police corruption, cover-ups, and political power in Canton, Massachusetts.\n\nPolice corruption in Massachusetts has always been a problem, but it has gotten worse in recent years.\n\nAn innocent woman named Karen Read was almost railroaded for a murder she didn't commit, and was in fact tried twice, even after being acquitted at her first trial.\n\nIn the same small town of Canton, the same district attorney ruled that the murder of a pregnant young woman by her local cop boyfriend was a suicide, despite 32,000 text messages between them. That was a scandal so outrageous that the FBI was forced to intervene and arrest the boyfriend.\n\nBut these are only the tip of the iceberg of police corruption in Massachusetts. Frameups have occurred in both state and federal courts. The Mass State Police have been convulsed by an endless series of scandals involving drugs, guns, embezzlement, domestic abuse and hiring of gangsters as troopers.\n\nMore than 30,000 drug convictions have been tossed because of corrupt state drug-lab chemists, a scandal that was covered up by now-Gov. Maura Healey.\n\nMass Corruption Vol. 1: The Cops is the story of these and many other corrupt events in MA in recent years, supplemented with seldom-seen photos from the archives of the Boston Herald.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 098619333X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.098619333X.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carr, Howie\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book has little sign of wear or use  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Blue Vase Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43298227191869,"sku":"BVV.098619333X.VG","price":16.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0589\/4225\/9261\/files\/098619333X-0.jpg?v=1782509228","url":"https:\/\/www.bluevasebooks.com\/products\/mass-corruption-the-breakdown-of-law-and-order","provider":"Blue Vase Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
