Abstract
204 Book Reviews minority groups to traditional Mafia, La Cosa Nostra, and syndicate models of organized crime. This discussion, how- ever, overlooks the importance and pervasiveness of Colombian and Jamai- can gangs in the lucrative drug trade. Other topics involving minorities in crime and minority interactions with the criminal justice system include an exam- ination of the etiology of juvenile delinquency among minority groups, police violence, brutality, civil rights violations against minorities, and the heavy rate of imprisonment of minori- ties. In a futuristic look toward mea- sures that could ameliorate the overinvolvement of minorities in crime and the disproportionate victimization of minorities, the author examines problems of the underclass and of minority employment in criminal justice agencies.

It includes useful information regarding the methodology of compiling and presenting
