Book excerpt: What is the "G-Code," the Gangsta Code, and what is the meaning behind its expression in gangster rap lyrics? How does this code influence the attitude and actions of young people across the sociological spectrum of American society? We fear the unknown. To many in the mainstream--white as well as black--rap and hip-hop culture represent a vast and frightening unknown. That fear is greatly exacerbated because in most instances it involves sons and daughters, nieces and nephews... grandchildren. If, however, we step into the void of that unknown and acclimate ourselves to the unique conditions within it, the fear dissipates.

Book excerpt: Sticking to the G-Code is more than a motto to a real gangster. POP SOMETHIN epitomizes what an official "G" is all about. For more than a decade, the legendary shooter and jack boy, brought terror to Houston, Texas, using his gun to obliterate everything in his path. When enemies try to clap back at Pop Somethin, he shows them just how he earned his street name, but this time the slaying lands him in the penitentiary. There, he meets C-NOTE, a prosperous dope boy from Dallas, who is being extorted by a vicious prisoner named BUCK WILD. Staying true to A GANGSTER'S CODE, Pop Somethin comes to his mans' rescue in a cold, violent manner that Buck Wild isn't prepared for, and he dares anyone to avenge the well-known convict. C-Note is more than impressed by his new friend's loyalty. When he is released, he offers Pop Somethin a chance to get rich at his side, A FAVOR FOR A FAVOR. With Pop Somethin now on the other side of the drug game, the streets are about to witness gangsterism at its best. Houston, Texas beware

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1930s the gangster film in the United States coincided with a very real and very sensational gangsterism at large in American society. Little Caesar (1931), The Public Enemy (1931), and Scarface (1932) borrowed liberally from the newspapers and books of the era. With the release of just these three motion pictures in barely more than a year's time, Hollywood quintessentially defined the genre. The characters, the situations, and the icons-from fast cars and tommy-guns to fancy fedoras and fancier molls-established the audience expectations associated with the gangster film that remain in force to this day. As with their Film Noir Reader series, using both reprints of seminal articles and new pieces, editors Silver and Ursini have assembled a group of essays that presents an exhaustive overview of this still vital genre. Reprints of work by such well-known film historians as Robin Wood, Andrew Sarris, Carlos Clarens, Paul Schrader, and Stuart Kaminsky explore the evolution of the gangster film through the 1970s and The Godfather. Parts 2 and 3 comprise two dozen newer articles, most of them written expressly for this volume by Ursini and Silver. These case studies and thematic analyses, from White Heat to the remake of Scarface to "The Sopranos," complete the anthology.

Book excerpt: After losing everything, POP takes C-NOTE's head to GONZO, hoping to clear his name. Instead of receiving a pass from his plug, Pop is given seventy-two hours to leave town or he'll have an on onslaught of bullets aimed at him and his family.Broke, homeless and bitter, Pop relocates his family to Houston, Texas, seeking a new start in the game. There he meets BORN READY, a man who plays the streets like a game of chess. When a supreme hustler and a fearless gunner join forces, there's no stopping their rise to the top. But treachery, deceit and trouble lies in wait.The fast money is good, but Pop's woman, QUEENIE, prefers his love and attention much more than his riches. When the streets become more important to Pop than his home, will he still be able to trust the woman he loves? Or will his neglect of her breed the unthinkable in her heart?Whatever comes with the game, good or bad, Pop is determined to live or die by A GANGSTER'S CODE, the only true way to become a Thug Immortal.

Book excerpt: “Don’t get high on your own supply.” Brian de Palma’s brash, bloody version of Scarface was trashed by critics when it came out twenty-five years ago and didn’t do well at the box office, but has become a spectacular fan favorite and enduring pop culture classic since. “Never underestimate the greed of the other guy.” What makes millions of people obsess over this movie? Why has Al Pacino’s Tony Montana become the drug kingpin whose pugnacity and philosophy are revered in boardrooms and bedrooms across America? Who were the people that made the movie, influencing hip-hop style and swagger to this day? “The world is yours.” Scarface Nation is Ken Tucker’s homage to all things Scarface—from the stars that acted in it to the influence it’s had on all of us, from facts, figures and stories about the making of the movie to a witty and comprehensive look at Scarface’s traces in today’s pop and political culture. “Say hello to my li'l fren!” You know you love the line. You know you’ve seen the movie more than once. Now dive into the ultimate book of Scarface—mounded as high as the pile of cocaine on Tony’s desk with delicious details and stimulating observations. “You know what capitalism is? F--- you!”

Book excerpt: The Handbook on Crime is a comprehensive edited volume that contains analysis and explanation of the nature, extent, patterns and causes of over 40 different forms of crime, in each case drawing attention to key contemporary debates and social and criminal justice responses to them. It also challenges many popular and official conceptions of crime. This book is one of the few criminological texts that takes as its starting point a range of specific types of criminal activity. It addresses not only 'conventional' offences such as shoplifting, burglary, robbery, and vehicle crime, but many other forms of criminal behaviour - often an amalgamation of different legal offences - which attract contemporary media, public and policy concern. These include crimes committed not only by individuals, but by organised criminal groups, corporations and governments. There are chapters on, for example, gang violence, hate crime, elder abuse, animal abuse, cyber crime, identity theft, money-laundering, eco crimes, drug trafficking, human trafficking, genocide, and global terrorism. Many of these topics receive surprisingly little attention in the criminological literature. The Handbook on Crime will be a unique text of lasting value to students, researchers, academics, practitioners, policy makers, journalists and all others involved in understanding and preventing criminal behaviour.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alan Lawrence Sitomer writes a compelling story of piecing together a life after a devastating loss--when the threat of violence lurks at every step. When Teddy Anderson's little sister Tina is gunned down randomly in a drive-by shooting, the gangstas who rule the streets in the Anderson family's rapidly deteriorating neighborhood dismiss the incident as just another case of wrong place, wrong time. According to gangsta logic, Tina doesn't even count as a statistic. After his elaborately laid plans for revenge against his sister's killer are foiled by the cops. Teddy soon finds himself in and then out of prison on house arrest, into the hands of Officer Mariana Diaz, the smart, tough probation officer assigned to oversee his endless hours of community service. As part of the innovative rehabilitation program Diaz runs, Teddy is assigned to tutor Micah, a twelve-year-old orphan and would-be gansta. As Teddy goes through the motions of complying with the terms of his probation, Diaz has no idea that he is using his genius-level computer hacker skills to plot his final vengeance and to defraud the state education system of hundreds of thousands of dollars. But even though Teddy thinks he knows it all, he fails to see how Micah's desperate need for love and trust just might have the power not only to pierce all Teddy's defenses, but to save his family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interdisciplinary anthology explores a wide range of intersecting issues contributing to and arising from gun violence. Millions of people are hurt and killed by gun violence globally, and the traumatic realities of these events are navigated by individuals and communities widely. In this context, gun violence fundamentally threatens social functioning in significant ways, and profoundly test the resilience of families. The resulting transformations carry social, political, legal and economic implications for mothering, family dynamics, and community engagement. This collaborative volume brings together diverse perspectives intended to deconstruct perceptions, realities, risks and impacts of gun violence, as seen by researchers, educators, community advocates, public health/health care experts, criminologists, social workers, field-based practitioners, and victims/survivors of gun violence. The distinct and broad range of contributions in this volume critically unpacks representations, stress and trauma, resilience, advocacy/activism, policymaking, family functioning, social justice and equity, governmentality and the criminal justice system, public health/health care, and community programs/interventions. Ultimately, the work is a unique contribution to the literature in which there is a lack of wide academic consideration of gun violence and a demonstrably unsatisfactory political response stretching back decades.

Book excerpt: In contemporary popular culture, armed women take center stage - but how can they be read from a feminist perspective? How do films, comics, and TV series depict the newly fashionable gunwomen between objectification and feminist empowerment? The contributions to this volume ask this question from different vantage points in cultural and literary studies, film and visual culture studies, history, and art history. They examine military and civic gun cultures, the rediscovery of historical armed women and revolutionaries, cultural phenomena such as gangsta rap, narcocultura and US politics, Bollywood and French cinema, and distinct genres such as the graphic novel, the romance novel, or the German police procedural Tatort.

Book excerpt: In the streets, where thuggin’ and criminal activity are certainly the norm, damn near anything goes, and Derrick Bellamy is no exception. In his quest to get his mother and little brother out of the hood, he chooses to hustle coke. To assist Derrick, his girlfriend decides to introduce him to Fat Jerome, a big-timer in the drug game. But when she reveals a previous dark encounter between her and Fat Jerome, Derrick becomes furious and contemplates the unthinkable. While Derrick is busy with street matters, he doesn’t take into consideration how much his actions are affecting his family. Neither is he focused enough to do anything about it—that is, until he has an encounter with the law and his outlook on life begins to change. Follow Derrick and a cast of characters from the hood as they wreak havoc on unsuspecting individuals, all in the name of getting what they desire, whether right or wrong. No one can convince them to change their ways. Like it or not, that’s just the way it is with them.
