BIOGRAPHY Thomas A. Reppetto, a former Commander of Detectives in the Chicago Police Department, received his doctorate from Harvard and was a professor, dean and vice-president at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City. For over a quarter-century he headed the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City. Previous heads of New York crime commissions had come to grief. One, a prominent minister, was immortalized in song for visiting houses of prostitution. Another, was an assistant district attorney whose solution of a mob murder prompted Hollywood to make a movie about him. At the Commission, he was jailed for refusing to name a confidential source. During his own tenure as Commission head Reppetto managed to avoid both houses of prostitution and a jail cell but there were no songs or movies written about him. Reppetto's various book's look behind the scenes at policing, the American Mafia, and counter terrorist agencies.
