为什么值得读
- 真实记录跟班巴尔的摩命案组一年的调查纪实
- 揭示体制如何腐蚀甚至最优秀个体的机制
- 美剧火线的重要素材来源与新闻报道典范
故事发生在 Baltimore。每三天就会有两名市民被枪杀、刺死或殴打致死。在这场犯罪飓风的中心，是该市的 homicide unit——一个由硬汉组成的小型兄弟会，在一个充斥致命危险的世界里争取一切可能实现的公平正义。David Simon 是有史以来第一位获准无限制接触 homicide unit 的记者，他这部引人瞩目的著作既是对案件办理扣人心弦的记录，也是对我们暴力文化的一次深刻调查。

如果你想了解“毒品战争”对内陆贫民区造成的影响，去读读大卫·西蒙（David Simon）的《凶年》（Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets）(http://fave.co/1p8kUh6)——读起来极其震撼，电视剧《火线》（The Wire）也是以这本书为蓝本的。我同意这些禁令政策……
If you want to understand the impact that the 'war on drugs' has had on inner cities check out Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets by David Simon (http://fave.co/1p8kUh6) - an amazing read, and it's the book that the TV series The Wire is based on as well. I agree that these prohibitionist policies…
如果你想看关于美国现实凶杀案调查的纪实叙事，读大卫·西蒙的《凶年》准没错。
If you want a narrative portrayal of realistic death investigation in the US, read Homicide by David Simon.
……生动展现了体制——警察、学校、毒品交易——是如何腐化哪怕是最优秀的人。《火线》很大程度上是基于西蒙在巴尔的摩重案组卧底一年的经历……这本书（后来催生了一部大台播出的电视剧）是我读过的关于新闻实践最好的一本书。跟了刑警们一年之后，你本以为西蒙会变得相当……
…illustration of how institutions -- the police, the schools, the drug trade -- corrupt even the best of individuals. "The Wire" is heavily based off of the year that Simon embedded himself in the Baltimore homicide department...the book (which spawned a network TV show) is the best book about the practice of journalism I've ever read. After a year following the detectives, you'd think Simon would be pretty much…
我过去5年里读过最好的书就是大卫·西蒙的《凶年》……如果你看过《火线》，它有一半的素材都来自作者卧底巴尔的摩重案组的这本真实记录：https://books.google.com/books/about/Homicide.html?id=N8LS0b...…
The best book I've read in the last 5 years is David Simon's, "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets"...if you've watched The Wire, half of its material is derived from this real life account of being embedded in Baltimore's homicide unit: https://books.google.com/books/about/Homicide.html?id=N8LS0b...…
如果你喜欢《火线》，一定要读读大卫·西蒙的书，堪称神作：- 《凶案组：街头杀戮之年》- 《街角：贫民区一年的生活》
If you've enjoyed The Wire, do read David Simon's books, it's outstanding work: - Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets - The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood
……被观察着，但我们也会习惯新面孔的存在，最终把他们当作“自己人”，然后恢复（大致）正常的举止。严格来说它们不算学术著作，但我认为大卫·西蒙的书《凶年》和《街角》（与爱德华·伯恩斯合著）完全属于这一类研究。第一本书正是……的灵感来源
…observed, but we also get used to a new presence, eventually consider them "one of us", and will resume (mostly) normal behavior. They're not technically academic works, but I consider David Simon's books "Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets" and "The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood" (co-written with Edward Burns) to be in the category of such studies. The first book was the inspiration…
