Broken Justice: An Inside-Out View of the Justice System
Broken Justice: An Inside-Out View of the Justice
System
by Bob Eddy with Connie Eddy
IPTM’s latest book, Broken Justice: An Inside-Out View of the Justice System,
takes a critical look at how law enforcement agencies function and offers common
sense and innovative solutions to help law enforcement managers and supervisors
improve the quality and efficiency of their programs and procedures.
The book was
written by Bob Eddy, a former police officer, sheriff, Special Investigator for
the Alabama State Attorney General’s Office and Chief Investigator for the Mobile
(Alabama) Attorney’s Office. He provides you with many examples of the different
types of cases on which he has worked. He’ll tell you how the crime was investigated,
what was wrong with the way the case was handled and what could have been done to
bring the investigation to a successful conclusion. You will also see why some cases
continue to remain unsolved to this day.
Mr. Eddy’s ideas include simple solutions
such as better communication between law enforcement agencies, personnel, prosecutors,
judges, pardon and parole officers, to improving the expertise of your department
through more education and training for officers. And yet, he understands the limitations
faced by most managers which is why he suggests more complex solutions such as working
with politicians for funding to make many of the necessary upgrades in technology
and new strategies that are needed to combat the crimes being committed today.
The
book includes the following chapters:
- Investigative Problems: Why Are Education
and Procedure Important?
- Why Is Cooperation Within and Between Agencies
Important in Solving Crimes?
- White Collar Crime: A Growing Problem Seeking
Justice
- Cases That Never Go To Trial: The Responsibilities of Investigators
and Prosecutors
- Investigations of Corruption: Some Sources of the Problem
- Tainted Justice: Arrest of the Wrong Person
- Cold Cases: Why Do
Cases Remain Unsolved?
- Political Chaos: Who Decides What We Need in Law
Enforcement?
- The Judicial System
- The Probation/Parole and Corrections
System
Bob Eddy began his career in law enforcement in 1967 as a deputy with the
Madison County Sheriff’s Department in Huntsville, Alabama. In 1977, the governor
appointed him as the Madison County Sheriff. From 1980 to his retirement in 1992,
Mr. Eddy was the Chief Investigator for the Mobile District Attorney’s Office in
Mobile, Alabama where he was the lead investigator for cold cases, supervised all
investigations of violent and white collar crimes and worked with the FBI on high-profile
cases. From 1996 to the present he has continued to be active as a private consultant
to both police departments and the FBI.
