The Business of Crime:

Italians and Syndicate Crime in the United States
Voorkant
1 Recenseren
University of Chicago Press, 15 apr. 1981 - 314 pagina's
"Dr. Nelli . . . describes the kinds of crime that prevailed in Italian immigrant enclaves in America; like most American crime, then as now, Italian crime was one aspect of the so-called culture of urban poverty—boys graduated from street gangs to criminal gangs. None of these gangs were very big until Prohibition brought the Great Leap Forward, to a level that Dr. Nelli calls 'entrepreneurial crime.' His fine account makes sense of many murderous incidents, differentiates among places, and sketches individuals and the talents (Torrio's brains, Capone's brutality) that enabled them to rise in the underworld."—New Yorker

"A definitive history of organized crime in America."—American Historical Review

Review: The Business of Crime: Italians and Syndicate Crime in the United States

Gebruikersrecensie  - Walt - Goodreads

This remains one of the few scholarly books on organized crime in America. Nelli does a splendid job discussing Italian syndicates in many cities instead of looking at just New York or Chicago. Volledige recensie lezen
