Review # 1 was written on 2016-03-18 00:00:00 Phillip Tolbert Overall, I'd more accurately give this book a 4.5 or so rather than a 5. It's a good book, but for this addition (2007), most of the data and references that it relied on we're quite dated. It suffers from the textbook problem of releasing a new text without the responsibility of adequately updating it in a truly scholarly manner. It definitely is an eye opening book that shatters many common (pop, criminal justice and even credal law enforcement) perspectives on organized crime. It's an enjoyable and thoroughly informative book. A great contrast to and supplement for common law enforcement perspectives on organized crime. I think of its theoretical prowess for practical application in fields that often resist novel ways to improve their ways of doing things, etc. Is a major selling point.
