Speaking plainly and courageously about crime, punishment, and politics, this book demands to be read. --Rush Limbaugh, Political commentator, talk show host This description may be from another edition of this product.
Joe Arpaio has secured his place in law enforcement history as an innovator & a worthy public servant. August Vollmer, Sir Robert Peel, & Clarence Kelley now have a new member to their club. All cops & politicians should read & learn from Sheriff Arpaio's book & so should all business managers & executives. Sheriff Arpaio exemplifies unorthodox simplicity in the pursuit of public safety & budget effectiveness. It's no wonder that the liberals hate him!
Take it easy on the criminals.....

and you will end up without a civilized society, which is basically what we have now. I am a criminal trial attorney with 25 years experience and 15,000 cases. Atty Robbins, who writes a review also, seems upset that criminals are being treated like criminals. What a novel idea the sheriff has !!! Obviously, the problem is that a lot of folks do not like to see criminals actually punished. And therein lies our problem. The problem is not with criminals as much as it is our unbelievable tolerance for them. The book is a great read for anyone who wishes to see criminal offenders pay for their crimes. People like Atty Robbins are outraged at the treatment the sheriff metes out to the offenders but is strangely and disturbingly silent about their victims.
What a man!

We need more men like Mr. Arpaio. Today the government seems to go out of its way to define and protect "prisoner's rights," while lacking any hesitation to trample over the rights of us law-abiding citizens. Arpaio dispenses justice much like a dispassioned referee does at a football game - if you commit the offense, you recieve a penalty, and your sob stories don't buy you so much as a pillow mint. His most vocal critic on this forum is someone who professes to be an attorney, but cannot spell properly or use words in their proper context. If you're thinking about buying this book, don't look to those of us who gave it 5 stars. Look to its staunchest critics. A bitterly angry critique that is not well-written - when floating alone in a population of praise - usually indicates that you've found a good read.
Excellent

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is one of a kind. The best lawman in the United States. He has two goals: (1)lock up the thugs and do it as inexpensively as possible, and (2) make sure the losers don't want to come back to his jail. Every sheriff and police chief in the country should be required to takes lessons from Arpaio. In this book he explains, in very plain English, how he reaches his goals. Give 'em hell, Joe!!
