The Criminal Elite: Professional and Organized Crime

by Howard Abadinsky

The author . . . focuses upon two elite categories of the criminal `underworld'--the jewel thief and the `wise guy'. . . . The author's well-documented readable work lends support to the contention that research in this area of crime problem is difficult, although feasible, and in the process fills a lacuna in the literature relative to elite categories of crime.
