Homicide in the garage of a lavish apartment building. This had all the markings of a Mafia killing. It was explained to me that the Mafia hires skilled lawyers to advise on such things. The man had been shot three times in the back of the head. In order to convict, the state would have to find the three guns, the three men that did the killing, and then prove which of the three bullets actually killed the man, and who fired which gun, New York City

A known drug dealer shows the knife wounds he had received in pursuit of his street trading. In this district the streets are so dangerous that the police officer carries two guns and a switch-blade knife. The small opera glasses are used to watch drug dealers from a distance, New York City

At night in a police station, the minors are set out of the cells. Mostly small-town teenage runaways, still wearing their mothers' lipstick, are picked up at night either by the police or pimps. "These girls in the picture are lucky; the pimps haven't gotten to them yet," said the fatherly officer. "They sleep the night here and in the morning we turn them over to the social workers," New York City
