Theft of the Nation: The Structure and Operations of Organized Crime in America
Organized crime in America today is not the tough hoodlums familiar to moviegoers and TV watchers. It is more sophisticated, with many college graduates, gifted with organizational genius, all belonging to twenty-four tightly knit "families," who have corrupted legitimate business and infiltrated some of the highest levels of local, state, and federal government. Their power reaches into Congress, into the executive and judicial branches, police …

Prison Organizations
In recent years, variations in the effectiveness and efficiency of different kinds of organizations and in the conditions under which these organizations arise, persist, and change have been studied in many settings, ranging from broad administrative systems to specific governmental and military hierarchies, factories, and hospitals. Almost all such studies could have been made in prisons, which contain systems of a military type designed to keep…

Methodological Problems in the Study of Organized Crime as a Social Problem
The secrecy of participants, the confidentiality of materials collected by investigative agencies, and the filters or screens on the perceptive apparatus of informants and investigators pose serious methodological problems for the social scientist who would change the state of knowledge about organized crime. There is overwhelming evidence that an organization variously called "the Mafia," "La Cosa Nostra," and "the syndicate" operates in the Uni…

Changing Criminals: The Application of the Theory of Differential Association
Behavior, attitudes, beliefs, and values are not only the products but also the properties of groups. Consequently, attempts to change individual behavior should be directed at groups. The implications for diagnosis and treatment of criminals of the theory of differential association are consistent with this principle of changing behavior by changing the group and can be effectively utilized in correctional work

Differential Association and the Rehabilitation of Drug Addicts
Five social psychological principles for the rehabilitation of criminals, formulated in this Journal by Cressey in 1955, have unwittingly been used in a program for rehabilitating drug addicts. Sixty-six per cent of the addicts who stayed in the program for at least three months, and 86 per cent of those who remained for at least seven months, are still not using drugs or alcohol
Personality Characteristics of Criminals
During the last twenty-five years objective personality tests have been widely used to investigate differences between criminals and noncriminals. Of 113 such comparisons, 42 per cent showed differences in favor of the noncriminals, while the remainder were indeterminate. The doubtful validity of many of the obtained differences, as well as the lack of consistency in the combined results, makes it impossible to conclude from these data that crimi…

Criminological Research and the Definition of Crimes
The concept "crime" must be restricted to behavior which is so defined by the criminal law, yet assumptions of proper scintific methodology make it necessary to define rigorously the pehnomena under investigation in criminology. Owing to lack of causal homogeneity within the general category "crime" and within the legal categories designating specific crimes, these two propositions present an apparent contradiction. The contradiction can in part …
