Talking to Strangers

One of my favorite authors, Malcolm Gladwell covers relevant topics that make me think and discuss these topics with others. This book focuses on the judgements that we make of strangers and decide if they are telling the truth or not. Bookending the book is a black woman who is stopped in Texas with out of state plates by a white cop. You can guess the ending from here, but the book goes through the process of how people judge and if we side on trust or not. I wish this was required reading for all police officers. There are many stories that weave through the book, Part 1 highlights a few sexual assault cases with very graphic content. Though the information helps the story, I had difficulty listening to it all.
