As a college professor, and researcher/student of white collar crime, Friedrichs' Trusted Criminals is by far the best text available on the topic. His extensive coverage of the wide array of actions constituting white collar crime provides readers with a better understanding of this sometimes confusing topic. Also, his easy-to-follow writing style and excellent use of examples facilitate comprehension of the material. It is apparent that a great deal of effort went into writing this book.

I refer to this text as "My Bible," and use it as a starting point for any and all research endeavors involving white collar crime. I eagerly anticipate the second edition (sometime soon?).
