Rebellion, just to be clear, can mean holding onto some of your own integrity, of not playing into the idea of sensationalism.

One of the things the police officers told us in the first minutes of being with them is that the way that they cope with their job is by using a lot of inappropriate humour.

I found out that detectives are really good dressers. I'm not even exaggerating. The woman I interviewed had these fantastic fuschia suede heels on that I coveted.
