This book involves articles about violence changing from feud in provincial regions to vandalism in big cities. Forms of white-collar criminality are also there (including embezzlement and prostitution). Life-styles and common problems of law-enforcers constitute another aspect of the work, while incidents pertaiing to past eras (like Ku Klux Klan or former Thuggies) are not neglected, either. A qualitative approach and an accompanying fluent style will make the curious reader enjoy this work!
