Theft of the Nation
Author: Donald CresseyPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351472410
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
Organized crime in America today is not the tough hoodlums familiar to moviegoers and TV watchers. It is more sophisticated, with many college graduates, gifted with organizational genius, all belonging to twenty-four tightly knit "families," who have corrupted legitimate business and infiltrated some of the highest levels of local, state, and federal government. Their power reaches into Congress, into the executive and judicial branches, police agencies, and labor unions, and into such business enterprises as real estate, retail stores, restaurants, hotels, linen-supply houses, and garbage-collection routes.How does organized crime operate? How dangerous is it? What are the implications for American society? How may we cope with it? In answering these questions, Cressey asserts that because organized crime provides illicit goods and services demanded by legitimate society, it has become part of legitimate society. This fascinating account reveals the parallels: the growth of specialization, "big-business practices" (pooling of capital and reinvestment of profits; fringe benefits like bail money), and government practices (negotiated settlements and peace treaties, defined territories, fair-trade agreements).For too long we have, as a society, concerned ourselves only with superficial questions about organized crime. "Theft of the Nation" focuses on to a more profound and searching level. Of course, organized crime exists. Cressey not only establishes this fact, but proceeds to explore it rigorously and with penetration. One need not agree with everything Cressey writes to conclude that no one, after the publication of "Theft of the Nation", can be knowledgeable about organized crime without having read this book.
The Crime Confederation
Author: Ralph SalernoPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Criminals
Languages : en
Pages : 440
Book Description
"Ralph Salerno, described by the New York Times as the man who "knows more about the Mafia than any person who is not a member of it," here puts together a very comprehensive portrait of "America's most successful industry." He amplifies and interprets much that came out in The Valachi Papers but also gives a very clear picture of the evolution of The Syndicate, why it is successful to the tune of $40,000,000,000 a year (a conservative estimate) and why the most powerful government in the world is incapable of protecting informers barring exile or a concentration camp existence. There is a lot of detailed information--recruiting methods, power tactics, means of corruption (work from the top down) and some sad projections for the future--Crime will pay better than ever. He discusses some possibilities of counter-attack; the rise of other ethnic groups and their influence; the gains of international crime confederations and the attitude of the American public--which should be disabused, hopefully, through an exposure like this. It's a thinking taxpayer's book."--Kirkus
