GANGLAND BRITAIN Inside Britain's Most Dangerous Gangs.
Seller: Loretta Lay Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover / Hardback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Hardback. The nature of crime in Britain today is changing. This is the age of the multi-national, multi-million, quasi-legitimate criminal, with a small number of highly organised, highly secretive gangs controlling the world's illegitimate wealth. Organised criminals make up less than 1% of the criminal population, yet their earnings far outstrip the remaining 99%. In recent years Britain, seen as a staging post for the lucrative European market, has been increasingly targeted by the world's most renowned - and feared - criminal gangs: among them the Hells Angels from the US, the Yardies from Jamaica, the Colombian drug cartels, the Yakuza from Japan, and the Triads from south-east Asia. This book is an expose of the gangs, their illegal activities, their members and their initiation ceremonies. From the crack-ridden estates of the inner cities to the rural golf courses in the heart of England, 'Gangland Britain' is a picture of the diversity and violence that the modern gangs represent. Illus., Bibliog. and Index. 340pp. 8vo. h/back. Browned pp. o/w Nr. F. in Nr. F. dw. Seller Inventory # 5772
