In Their Own Words is a collection of ethnographic or field accounts of crime and criminals, providing a rare opportunity for students to view the world from the perspective of offenders. Few students ever encounter a real criminal during their education, and this anthology is designed to provide an accessible look at the criminal mind. Brief introductions precede each reading, providing internal cohesiveness and structure to the book. In this reader, students will encounter gang members, burglars, shoplifters, pimps, prostitutes, killers, robbers, fences, addicts, rapists, drug smugglers, and white-collar offenders--all of whom discuss their motives, perceptions, decision-making strategies, and rationalizations for crime. In each article, the researcher places the offenders' words into a theoretical context and then provides analyses and conclusions.
