organized crime in america

The author has done an excellent job of presenting a factually accurate yet interesting survey of a subject that has been often written about. This "textbook" is reader friendly in that it is at once research based, legally and historically accurate yet an enjoyable read. In different parts of the book, criminological theory is introduced and explained and is then effectively illustrated by case examples. This book is also unique in that it presents chapters on tactical strategies employed by the prosecution and defense attorneys involved in organized crime cases. I look forward to a 4th edition.
