If you think drug dealing is for antisocial 'losers, ' read this book. You will learn that selling drugs in suburbia confers social status, rarely involves legal risk or violence, and need not disrupt conventional academic and career paths. In a word, you will learn why so many American middle-class kids think drug selling is cool. --Richard Rosenfeld, Founders Professor of Crimonology and Criminal Justice, University of Missouri-St. Louis
