Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
1950s musical comedy starring Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.
Accompanied by her stage partner and best friend, Dorothy Shaw
(Russell), showgirl Lorelei Lee (Monroe) sets sail for Paris, where
she plans to meet up with and marry her wealthy beau, Gus Esmond
Jr. (Tommy Noonan). However, Lorelei's love of diamonds threatens
to get both girls into a jam as Ernie Malone (Elliott Reid), the
private detective hired by Mr Esmund Sr. (Taylor Holmes) to keep a
close eye on his son's bride-to-be, joins them on the ship.
Crime tops the headlines, leads the evening news, and is a focus
of every election. But what causes crime? Is there a more rational
way to address it than by law-and-order crusades?
In this fact-filled, sweeping treatment, George Winslow takes on
every aspect of the topic, from the streets to the suites. Unlike
conventional accounts, Capital Crimes places the issue in the
context of a larger political economy. From the Burmese heroin
trade to homicide, from the capital flight that has generated crime
in inner cities to corporate money-laundering schemes, Capital
Crimes shows how economic forces and elite interests have shaped
both the world of crime and society's response to it.
Based upon extensive research and interviews, Capital Crimes
presents a comprehensive alternative to a "lock 'em up" approach
that has produced a gargantuan prison-industrial complex without
coming to terms with the root of crime.
