Résumé
Based on eight years of research with law enforcement officals, the media, and interviews with more than eighty Canadian and American bank robbers, the author examines the life situations, relationships, and value systems of those who commit serious crimes. The candid stories of an ex-police officer, drug addicts, compulsive gamblers, a senior citizen, two con-artists, an exotic dancer, family men, informants, and career criminals are all included in this study.
