Discussions of crime in America frequently turn to the issue of black-on-black violence, its causes and effects.
It's nearly an everyday occurrence in the part of Los Angeles some residents and police refer to as "ghettoside."
Jill Leovy uses the term as the title of her book on a Los Angeles murder: Ghettoside: A True Story of Murder in America.
Leovy, a Los Angeles Times reporter, follows the police work to solve the murder and bring the killer to justice.
