Publisher's Synopsis
A series of interviews with people involved with crime on both sides of the law. By means of 23 interviews the author gives the reader a revealing insight into the netherworld of crime and demonstrates that the nature of crime is changing. Gone are the days of "family firms" who control whole areas by fear and coercion; this is an age of multi-national, million-pound, quasi-legitimate crime, of new-age criminals as yet unmatched by new-age policemen.;The author offers no easy solutions, but in laying bare the reality of life on the dark side of society, he forces us to examine the issues for ourselves and to abandon the cliches and stereotypes we have been taught to accept about criminals.
