Homicide and Organised Crime in Birmingham, West Midlands: Future Directions and Closing Comments.This book offers rich ethnographic and narrative accounts of men who have been engaged in serious violence and organised crime in the West Midlands, England, drawing on several theoretical paradigms. Through case study examples, it considers contract killers and the nefarious position that 'hitmen' occupy in the criminal underworld. By charting insider perspectives from retired police officers, informants, ex-military personnel and ex-offenders, this book speaks to those who have a vested interest in violence, organised crime and ethnography. .Palgrave Studies in Risk, Crime and Society,2946-2525Criminal behaviorCriminologyVictims of crimesCriminal BehaviorCrime Control and SecurityResearch Methods in CriminologyVictimologyCriminal behavior.Criminology.Victims of crimes.Criminal Behavior.Crime Control and Security.Research Methods in Criminology.Victimology.364.60941364.1520922424Rahman Mohammedauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut788119BOOK9910337833503321Homicide and Organised Crime1756626UNINA
