内容説明
"With the appearance of Homer's study, it is no longer
possible to base any serious work about organized crime on the superficial
debate over whether or not this set of activities is dominated by one or more
particular ethnic groups," writes political scientist Michael A.
Weinstein in his introduction. Homer removes the study of organized
crime from the realm of sensationalism and ethnic chauvinism, and places it in
the context of contemporary American social structure. He reviews prevalent
myths and hypotheses about organized crime and critically analyzes them in the
framework of contemporary organization theory. In this context, organized crime
is analyzed in its economic, political, ethnic, and social class dimensions. This
book will pose a dilemma for American citizens, Weinstein concludes: "Will we
choose to ease our consciences by pretending that organized crime is an anomaly
in American society to be eliminated by punitive action against particular
groups, or will we recognize that criminal matrices functionally interlock with
many other aspects of everyday life? Only the latter recognition will permit us
to make a free decision about how we will act with respect to organized crime."
Listed among the outstanding books of 1974 by both American
Scholar and Society, Guns and Garlic is a recommended selection of the National
Criminal Justice Reference Center, a division of the Law Enforcement Assistance
Association of the United States Department of Justice.
