Reviews

Outstanding.... The authors uncover a world of drug dealing far removed from violent street-corner slinging and as entwined in the college experience as all-nighters and keg parties. Providing unparalleled insight into the war on drugs and an all-but-ignored deviant world, this book is as entertaining to read as it is educational. - Peter Moskos, John Jay College of Criminal Justice. An excellent study that finally puts the race/class-biased War on Drugs into perspective. - William J. Chambliss, George Washington University. Compellingly demonstrates that college drug dealers, who are mostly white and middle-class, are not subject to the same constraints as typical, street-level dealers. - Heith Copes, University of Alabama at Birmingham.
