Synopsis
The Crime that Pays is a study of higher level drug syndicates and organized criminals who have achieved huge incomes and status in their deviant occupation. Based on interviews with drug couriers, drug investigators, and 70 drug traffickers, Dr. Desroches describes the characteristics of offenders, their modus operandi, the entrepreneurial aspects of organized crime, and the significance of friendship, kinship, race, and ethnicity in the development of criminal networks. It includes original research both on the RCMP and on higher level drug traffickers. Also included are analyses of Canadian drug laws and a critique of social policy relating to drug use and drug trafficking.
The general reader will definitely find this book informative, as it is written in accessible language, and locates the criminal act within an understanding of the way society is constructed, regulated, and maintained.
The appeal of the book is broadened by the attention that Dr. Desroches pays to both the more abstract criminological questions and more practical policy concerns.

About the Author
Dr. Frederick Desroches has worked in a mental hospital, a prison, and at the Departments of Indian Affairs and the Solicitor General in Ottawa. His two books Force and Fear and Behind the Bars (published by CSPI) are based on interviews with 80 convicted bank robbers. The study contains original research on the motivation and modus operandi of the daring and desperate men who rob banks and armoured vehicles. Dr. Desroches is currently Director of Legal Studies and Criminology at the University of Waterloo.
Review
The Crime that Pays is a thorough and thoughtful analysis of an area that for too long been dominated by sensationalist journalism and political hyperbole. Desroches's book should be studied carefully by criminologists, policy planners and anyone else interested in a sober assessment of how high-level drug markets operate in this country." - Dr. Vince Sacco, Professor of Sociology at Queen's University
