"I hadn't realized until I covered the police beat just how seedy crime is"

- Jessica Savitch

About this Quote

In this quote, journalist Jessica Savitch assesses her experience covering the cops beat and how it has opened her eyes to the dark and corrupt world of criminal offense. The word "seedy" recommends a sense of dirtiness and decay, indicating that criminal activity is not simply a basic matter of breaking the law, however rather a complex and disturbing issue. Savitch's usage of the phrase "I hadn't understood" indicates that she was formerly uninformed of the true nature of criminal activity, and her time on the police beat has actually given her a brand-new perspective. This quote highlights the harsh reality of crime and the importance of journalists in clarifying these often neglected aspects of society.
