I’ll be on CNN, Sunday, from 7:30 to 7:35pm (Eastern Time) with Drew Griffin. I get to sport the suit I got made for me in Thailand. I’ll probably even wear a tie. If you miss the broadcast, don’t worry, you’ll be able to see the same suit again the next time I’m on TV.
I like when Clarance Page calls me a “rascal”! He writes in the Chicago Tribune: When Peter Moskos’ new book landed on my desk, I wasn’t sure if it was going to be a treatise on crime and punishment or some sort of kinky sex manual. Its title: “In Defense of Flogging.” You rascal, I…

Take Sean O’Donnell’s of the Baltimore Republican Examiner: For anyone interested is what being a police officer in Baltimore City is really like, Peter Moskos’ in-depth, academic, and realist account inCop in the Hood is a must-read…. Whether one agrees or…

Streetsblog New York did an interview with me about police and traffic enforcement. It’s a good interview, even if “Talking Traffic with Peter Moskos” sounds like the world’s worst Sunday morning AM radio show.
Along with Neill Franklin, I’ll be broadcast on Baltimore’s “Maryland Morning” tomorrow (Friday) at 9:05am (Eastern Time). In Charm City WYPR is 88.1 FM. Or you can listen to live streaming here.
Today was my third time on TV. I loveradio interviews. TV? I’m still not comfortable with it. Radio is kind of like real life. TV is a bizarre and totally different creature. In case you’re going on TV, here are a few things I wish somebody had told me before my first time. 1) Make…
