Praise for Doing Right

"Jeff Schlanger has spent a career confronting crime, public safety, and institutional accountability at the highest levels. Doing Right is a thoughtful and important memoir about leadership, reform, and the challenge of doing right when the stakes are highest."

Bill Bratton Former Commissioner, NYPD
Former Chief of Police, LAPD

"Doing Right is a compelling reflection on a remarkable career that carried Jeff Schlanger from major organized-crime prosecutions to the larger questions of public integrity and reform. It is a serious and thoughtful memoir about conscience, judgment, and what justice requires."

Cy Vance Former Manhattan District Attorney

"Jeff Schlanger lived much of the New York story from the inside — through organized crime, public institutions under pressure, and the struggle to make them better. Doing Right is a compelling memoir of crime, power, and reform."

Rich Esposito Journalist & Former Deputy Commissioner, NYPD
Author of Jimmy Breslin: The Man Who Told the Truth
