1956,
and
juvenile
crime
rocketed
out
of
control.
Teenage
gangs
ruled
the
streets,
forcing
the
NSW
Police
Commissioner
to
form
33
Division,
an
elite
group
of
tough
plain
clothes
cops
presided
over
by
George
Athur
Everard,
feared
by
the
criminal
world
and
known
to
all
as
The
Prince
of
Darlinghurst.
Within
a
year
the
problem
was
solved
and
as
a
reward,
33
Division
was
placed
in
charge
of
State
Gaming
and
Vice.
It
was
a
licence
to
print
money.
Corrupted
from
within,
the
cops
of
'Dirty
Tree'
as
the
division
became
known,
ruled
the
city
and
became
the
biggest
crime
syndicate
Sydney
had
ever
seen.
The
book

sound
and
