Review
"...This edition boasts close to 500 entries, including 80 new subjects and revisions to outdated entries from the first version. The clear, authoritative essays...cover a wide range of offenses, including organized crime, drug trafficking, money laundering, bribery, and government corruption....Given the intricacies of many notable cases, this set excels at conveying the complexities that often lead to punishable white-collar offenses....VERDICT: This encyclopedia is not designed for use as a legal reference; its value lies in its fascinating and evenhanded documentation of the most egregious examples of corporate, political, and individual transgression throughout history. Recommended for high school students and adults with an interest in white-collar and corporate crime." (Jennifer Michaelson Library Journal 2013-10-15)
"This two-volume encyclopedia has been updated and refined to reflect the changing landscape of white-collar and corporate crime....more than 80 new entries have been added on recent figures (such as Bernie Madoff and Eliot Spitzer) and for crimes and scandals (including Ponzi schemes and WikiLeaks)....This set covers a wide range of topics with entries focused on providing introductory information , making it a useful starting point for researchers. Recommended as a great addition to public, high-school, and undergraduate libraries." (Kaela Casey Booklist 2013-11-01) |
