About the Authors

Jeanine Ferris Pirro is the District Attorney of Westchester County, New York.

Jeanine Ferris Pirro is the District Attorney of Westchester County, New York. Now serving her third, four-year term in office, Pirro began her career in law enforcement as a prosecutor in Westchester more than twenty-five years ago. In 1978, she headed the county's first domestic violence unit, one of only four in the nation. Later, she was elected the first woman jurist to sit on the Westchester County Court bench. Pirro's High Technology Crimes unit has garnered nationwide attention for its undercover stings against pedophiles and child pornographers who use the Internet to prey on children. To date, over 70 arrests have been made, with a conviction rate of 100%. Pirro lives in Westchester with her husband and two children.

Catherine Whitney is a New York writer, and has co-written many books on legal, political, and social issues.
