Although it is nearly invisible to the public, criminal snitching has invaded the American legal system in risky and sometimes shocking ways. This book exposes the social destruction that snitching can cause in high-crime African American neighborhoods. It also uncovers the farreaching legal, political, and cultural significance of snitching.
