Summary
The book traces Manny's elaborate career of deviance: from his early experiences with gang life, to encounters with gambling, experiences in New York City, with Synanon and finally with the California Department of Corrections. The book provides descriptions that illustrate many key issues touched by the more abstract concepts of formalized theories of criminal behavior.
