Overview
Who decides to be a crime photographer is the state with the lowest crime statistics? Eric did, and he takes us along for his sometimes harrowing, sometimes banal work. We see the effects of uniquely American and criminal structures on even the safest part of the country, and we meet those most dedicated to serving that community, despite its fractures.

Dispatches from individual lives, as they happen: Each short book originates in short confidences recorded by individuals during borrowed moments from their interesting lives. Set amidst some of our most pressing contemporary predicaments and edited by award-winning writers Peter Orner and Laura Lampton Scott, Dispatches captures some of the highs and lows of daily human endurance.
