The book is a valuable source for grasping the intricacies of corporate deviance. an attractive feature is the author's discussion of research design and execution. . . . An excellent reference section is provided for the inquiring reader. I recommend the book for both the practitioner and academician.

Meadows, Security Administration An important book.--USA Today The book contains many interesting anecdotes in addition to the research findings and is bound to be controversial.--Stephen L.
