For undergraduate/graduate-level courses in Organized Crime, Gangs in Society, and Juvenile Delinquency, or any other course related to organized crime or gangs, in departments of Criminal Justice, Criminology, Sociology, and Psychology.
Exceptionally complete and more informative than any other book on organized crime and gangs, this text explores in detail the formation of gangs worldwide, the history of the gangs' criminal activities, and the future of the gangs in society-including gangs that are hardly mentioned in other volumes. Every gang is viewed historically, territorially, and economically. Students and instructors will develop a thorough understanding of-and comparative insight into-the inner workings of gangs, both local and worldwide.
