Summary: Good Book
Review: I had Dr. Lyman in a class and I think he wrote a good book. He is detailed and provided me with alot of information. If you are into organized crime, not just mafia, get this book - it is a good resource.

Summary: Good Introduction
Review: This book is a good introduction to a difficult topic. The authors don't focus on just the traditional "Costra Nostra" topics that many authors fall prey too. The authors carefully blend National and International Organized Crime (OC)Groups, Theories of OC and methods for controling the spread and growth of the groups.

The book is written in a textbook fashion and the authors provide keywords at the end of each chapter to assit the student in learning the main points of each chapter.

Both the authors appear very knowledgable in this subject and they continue to add current information into their newer additions.
