In Gangs and Organized Crime, George W. Knox, Gregg W. Etter, and Carter F. Smith offer an informed and carefully investigated examination of gangs and organized crime groups, covering street gangs, prison gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and organized crime groups from every continent. The authors have spent decades investigating gangs as well as researching their history and activities, and this dual professional-academic perspective informs their analysis of gangs and crime groups. They take a multidisciplinary approach that combines criminal justice, public policy and administration, law, organizational behavior, sociology, psychology, and urban planning perspectives to provide insight into the actions and interactions of a variety of groups and their members. This textbook is ideal for criminal justice and sociology courses on gangs as well as related course topics like gang behavior, gang crime and the inner city, organized crime families, and transnational criminal groups. Gangs and Organized Crime is also an excellent addition to the professional’s reference library or primer for the general reader.

Over the past several decades, there has been a continuous and growing focus on street gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and domestic extremist groups. Many of these groups have members with military training, and some actively recruit from current and former military veterans and retirees. That military experience adds to the dangerousness of veteran gang members, as well as those groups they associate with. Communities everywhere are experiencing the damaging impact of gang criminal behavior. By observing gang activity from the Revolutionary War to today Smith examines the presence of military-trained, often veteran, gang members in the communities. He looks at the turning points in gang investigations in the military, and also looks at the laws and policies designed to specifically counter the criminal activity the threats of gang activity pose on a community. Grounded in current knowledge and research, Gangs and the Military successfully addresses the growing presence of criminal gang members in the United States. As well as reflects on how the authorities that counter and combat them are doing so on a national and global level.

From soldier to judge, to pirate and outlaw, Sam Mason’s life is a testament to early America's turbulent, unpredictable frontier.Sam Mason carved out a life of adventure and infamy that took him from soldier to pirate in late 18th century America. Mason fought in both the French and Indian War and the Revolutionary War—battles that shaped early America. After his military service, he traded in his rifle for a judge’s gavel, settling into what seemed a respectable life. However, he was soon inexplicably drawn into the world of counterfeiting, an enterprise that soon led him back to the riverbanks he once defended. Mason gained infamy as a pirate along the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers and the wilderness of the Natchez Trace near New Orleans, preying on travelers and traders alike with a band of ruthless men. His reputation and influence spread as he used his understanding of the law to maneuver through jurisdictional gaps and stay just out of authorities’ reach. His exploits made him one of the most feared—and hunted—criminals in early American history, cementing his legacy as a cunning rogue who mastered the borderlands between law and lawlessness.
