[. . . ] There are six reports available to the Lawyer: Most Wanted ELECTIONS Squealers The report on Elections only appears when an election takes place.

Crimes Elections LEGAL PROCEEDINGS Legal Proceedings If any of your hoods are arrested, the Legal Proceedings report becomes very useful.

Employed Police Click on the appropriate report button to access any of the reports. Click on the report button again to cancel the report. All of these reports are available from the Reports Panel and concern important legal issues. EMPLOYED POLICE Employed Police opens the Clipboard at the employed police Section. This list contains all the police who have been put on a regular income and also gives you the option to dismiss them. Click on the name of the officer to view their details. Click on Sack to dismiss the officer from your pay. HINT Dismissing police saves money, but often leaves them infuriated! MOST WANTED The Most Wanted report shows a list of the people being watched by the FBI. This report is always available, whether you have a Lawyer or not. If you find that one of your hoods is on the list, you should consider keeping them off the streets for a few weeks. Doing this allows the hood's rating on this list to drop, although they are still claiming a wage. HINT The Most Wanted report only shows dangerous and habitual criminals. Hoods can be arrested for minor crimes without ever appearing on this list. GANGSTERS PAGE 49 DIPLOMACY Diplomacy is where you can not only view and set your relationship with rival Gangs, but you can also find out about your opponents, using Snitches. Click on the Diplomacy Section Tab to access this Section. There are five levels of diplomacy between opposing Gang leaders: Alliance Peace Cease-Fire Aggression Gang Warfare Each of these controls not only the relationship and tactics between opposing Gang leaders, but also influences each player's hoods. The more violent the setting, the more inclined hoods are to avoid a rival's territory and the more likely they are to open fire if they see any hoods from the opposing Gang. CEASE-FIRE The Cease-Fire setting is used when you want to avoid attacking the hoods of another Gang, unless they appear within your territory. Cease-fire is the most stable of treaties; any hood that is killed in your area will usually bring no repercussions, because they should not have been there in the first place!Avoid sending your hoods into other areas, unless it is necessary. ALLIANCE An Alliance is where the two Gang Leaders agree to divide the city. [. . . ] It was obvious that they didnt suspect anything questionable with the two uniformed killers or they certainly would have never been killed without a fight. But as it was, the mobsters seemed to have cooperated with the costumed officers and consequently let the fake policemen disarm them and force them up against the wall. As soon as their backs were turned, the two men in plain clothes entered with guns and shot them down. Therefore, the eye-witnesses were somewhat accurate when they claimed to have seen two policemen arresting two men. [. . . ]
