"The book is a valuable source for grasping the intricacies of corporate deviance. an attractive feature is the author's discussion of research design and execution. . . . An excellent reference section is provided for the inquiring reader. I recommend the book for both the practitioner and academician.

Meadows, Security Administration "An important book."—USA Today "The book contains many interesting anecdotes in addition to the research findings and is bound to be controversial."—Stephen L.
