Profit without Honor: White Collar Crime and the Looting of America - Tapa blanda

"A valuable book on an area. of crime in America that has never been given sufficient attention. Rosoff, Pontell & Tillman demonstrate in this thoroughly researched and well-written book that crime in the suites is just as detrimental to the health of this nation, and sometimes more so, than crime in the streets. I highly recommend Profit Without Honor." -- Vincent Bugliosi, author of the book, Helter Skelter "A great book. Profit Without Honor combines immaculate scholarship, penetrating insight, and a witty and engaging style of writing. Readers will find material that will trigger righteous indignation, and insights that will make them nod in agreement and wonder, why they hadn't thought of that. The authors provide a vast array of information on white-collar offenses that challenges current concentration on street law-breaking as the most serious crime problem in the United States." -- Gilbert Geis Professor, Emeritus, Former President, American Society of Criminology "A vivid documentation of the white-collar crime problem in the U.S. told with panache and insight." -- John Braithwaite, Professor, The Australian National University Wow? That is probably the wrong word to begin a critique of a book ... Profit Without Honor is one of the finest books that I have ever read on the subject of white-collar crime. Each chapter was outstanding: the writing style; the organization of material, past and present; the research; the footnotes. Profit Without Honor is outstanding." -- Hugh J.B. Cassidy, Former Detective Commander and Aide to the Chief of Detectives, NYC Police Department
