This anthology contains a selection of contemporary ethnographic research on crime and criminals. Brief introductions precede each of 32 readings, which present the criminal's perspective on a variety of topics. Some of the difficulties involved in conducting ethnographic research are also addressed from the researcher's point of view. Fifteen new studies have been added to the fourth edition, offering insight into issues such as the motivations of illegal telemarketers and the risks and pressures on middle-class cocaine sellers.
