Description

Crack House. The Incredible True Story of the Man Who Took on London's Crack Gangs and Won by Harry Keeble with Kris Hollington. 'The Bastard offspring of Cocaine, Crack first entered the UK in the early 1990s. By the end of the decade, Britain's inner cities were in the midst of a crack epidemic, with users being responsible for a massive proportion of crime - 95 percent of street shootings are crack-related, for example. Communities, especially in London, were crying out for help, but there were only two specialist units in the whole of the capital. One of them, Haringey Drug Squad, embarked on a war on crack, aiming to shut down all 100 crack houses in their borough in one year. Amazingly, they did it. Even more amazingly, in the subsequent twelve months all black-on-black killings in Haringey ceased, and burglaries and muggings fell massively. The book has medium general wear with creasing on the covers and the book is slightly cocked but the binding remains tight.
