Lew Yablonsky's story is about a youth who was involved in various
delinquent activities as a teenager, and later in life, after
serving in the Navy, went through a dramatic change to become a
noted Professor of Criminology. His favorite commentary about his
life change on various national TV programs and in news media about
his professional life was: "In my early years some of my best
friends were criminal sociopaths, and I learned more about crime
from them than I learned from acquiring my Ph.D. at NYU." His
autobiography details his early years, and how his personal life
entwines with the 20 books he has researched and written about
crime, drug addiction, and other social issues. The following quote
from a review of his first book "The Violent Gang" in the Los
Angeles Times describes his writing style ..".a powerful and
incisive writing in the field of sociology...an important and
imensely useful work.
