Description and Table of Contents

Description

Career criminals -- pickpockets, Mafioso or corporate executives engaged in illegal dumping -- are rarely caught and therefore rarely studied. This volume aims to add to the literature on career criminals by using innovative methods and approaches to seek out new information. 'The papers are well written and carefully edited with efficient use of charts, maps, and tables in several instances...This bood is recommended for libraries seeking to establish comprehensive holdings in criminology or in criminal justice.' -- Choice, July/August 1984
