More about the book
Veteran San Francisco policeman Mullen is out to clean up the reputation of the town by re-evaluating the activity and goals of the 1851 Vigilance Committee, which has loomed so large in historical interpretations. He analyzes the incidence of crime, and describes the development of courts, police, and jails from 1846 to 1852. Describes the day-to-day negotiation and settlement process, which keeps 99% of all lawsuits from ever coming to court. The data is drawn from interviews with lawyers involved in state and federal cases, so the perspective is a lawyer's rather than a litigant's. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95.
