Doing Right: From Prosecutor to Reformer: A Journey Through Crime, Corruption, Complacency and Change - Couverture rigide
Synopsis
What do you do when the system you serve becomes the problem?
That question followed Jeff Schlanger through forty years of public life. It has no easy answer. Doing Right is the honest accounting of a man who kept asking it anyway.
Schlanger began as a Manhattan prosecutor, building organized crime cases in an era when names like John Gotti and the Westies still carried genuine menace on the streets of New York. He understood crime and punishment up close — not from textbooks, but from the work itself.
But the cases that defined his later career weren't about prosecuting criminals. They were about confronting institutions. When the LAPD's Rampart scandal became the defining police corruption crisis of a generation, Schlanger helped lead the federal monitorship tasked with forcing change.
When the NYPD needed someone to build a risk management framework from scratch, they turned to Schlanger — making him their first Deputy Commissioner for Risk Management.
In Doing Right, he reflects on what four decades inside crime, corruption, and reform taught him. About power. About institutional failure. About the rare and difficult discipline of true justice in a world that makes it easier to look away.
This is not a book about villains. It is a book about choices — and about what it costs to make the right ones when the stakes are highest.
Why this memoir demands your attention:
- One of the most compelling true crime memoirs written from inside law enforcement and institutional reform
- A firsthand lens on criminal justice, corruption, and accountability in America's most powerful institutions
- Organized crime prosecuted, corruption officer roles navigated, and reform hard-won across four decades
- A meditation on crime and punishment that goes far beyond courtrooms and verdicts
- Essential reading for anyone who believes true justice is worth fighting for
Add to Cart. Some stories change the way you see the system. This is one of them.

Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. From the Manhattan District Attorney's Office to the front lines of public accountability, Doing Right: From Prosecutor to Reformer is the story of one man's journey through crime, corruption, institutional failure, and the hard discipline of conscience.Jeff Schlanger entered the Manhattan District Attorney's Office in 1978, where he spent more than a decade as a senior trial and investigative attorney at the forefront of the office's organized crime work, including the investigation and prosecution of the Westies and John Gotti. Following his years as a prosecutor, Schlanger moved into the private sector, representing a journalist whose reporting on the TWA Flight 800 disaster led to federal criminal charges that raised fundamental questions about freedom of the press and the limits of federal authority.Beginning in 2001, Schlanger helped lead the federal monitorship overseeing the Los Angeles Police Department - the largest police consent decree in American history - a role that continued for nearly eight years. He also led the operation to recover millions of dollars of gold from the World Trade Center site, coordinating with the NYPD, the Port Authority Police Department, and the Bank of Nova Scotia. He later returned to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office as Chief of Staff to District Attorney Cyrus Vance, and subsequently served as the first-ever Deputy Commissioner of NYPD's Risk Management Bureau.Doing Right is not simply a memoir of cases. It is an account of what it means to pursue justice inside institutions that are sometimes flawed, sometimes political, and sometimes resistant to the very accountability they are supposed to uphold. Across four decades, one question never left him: what does it actually mean to do right? Memoir by Manhattan prosecutor Jeff Schlanger - Westies, Gotti, LAPD oversight, NYPD leadership.
