The book's attitude is also oddly inconsistent. So thorough is this characterization, that it comes as a total shock to find, in the afterword, that not only do these people survive their court convictions, but also become important contributing members of society. The author seems to feel quite free to point fingers in all directions. After repeatedly hinting at police incompetence, brutality, and even corruption, the book ends with a rather weak statement implying that the situation is getting better. Technically and journalistically, however, it has numerous problems.
