ORGANIZED CRIME, PUBLIC CORRUPTION: ERNIE PREATE AND THE PENNSYLVANIA CRIME COMMISSION (Soft cover)

An excerpt: "The problem of organized crime is pernicious; it is an inseparable component of the American political economy. The work of gang bangers, pimps, Cosa Nostra figures, and traffickers in human misery is bad enough. But what are we to do when the custodians of the public weal—those we depend on to preserve our rights and administer justice—are themselves organized criminals? Indeed, a growing body of academic literature demonstrates that the true organizers of crime are not those with illicit guns and extended rap sheets, but powerful players who use badges and gavels.
Power. Control. Leverage."
