Schneider Stephen :

Rick Linden, Professor of Sociology and Criminology, University of Manitoba:
“This collection effectively links the notions of big money, big crime, and big policing. Murray, Kirley, and Schneider offer an approach that is based in current literature and which connects these three topics in an innovative way. Compiling this strong material together in a single volume is a significant contribution to the academic literature and will give a boost to those who are trying to change the current system of ignoring much of this Big Crime.”

Fred Desrochers, Professor of Sociology and Legal Studies, University of Waterloo:
“This eclectic collection of essays approaches commercial crimes from a variety of perspectives: sociological, economic, political, historical, and journalistic. The authors reveal how big crime is more extensive, complex, profitable, and threatening to the social and economic fabric than what has been labelled as organized, white-collar, and street-level crime. This is a significant contribution to the criminological literature on major crimes committed by organizational structures.”
