During the 1980s, addiction to crack cocaine escalated at an alarming rate. As the demand for crack grew, so did the economic opportunities for entrepreneurial street dealers, who developed criminal underground networks for the supply and retail sale of the high-profit substance. While crack cocaine use has since plateaued and is on the decline, hard-core dealers persist in selling the increasingly unprofitable drug in a high-risk, competitive street market. Bruce A. Jacobs bases his study on dangerous field research conducted in one of the most socially distressed and impoverished neighborhoods in St. Louis. Drawing on no-holds-barred interviews with active dealers, as well as on his own eyewitness observations of transactions and encounters with police, Jacobs captures the crack business as it actually operates on the streets. He examines the underlying motivations for selling crack, describes the complex and intricate social organization of dealing, and explores how dealers protect transactions from law enforcement, undercover police, and criminal predators. Quoting extensively from his conversations with offenders, he conveys much of the fear and aura surrounding the process and lifestyle of crack cocaine dealing. This provocative volume is appropriate for a variety of courses in criminal justice and social problems and gives general readers an inside look at one of America's most troubling problems.

Dealing with Privilege: Cannabis, Cocaine, and the Economic Foundations of Suburban Drug Culture focuses on the careers of nine successfully retired drug dealers, offering a contrast to sociological, criminological, and other depictions of drug dealing as a realm of the desperate, dangerous, and poor. David Crawford tells the great untold story of drug dealing in America, where white, middle-class dealers are unlikely to suffer the enforcement of drug laws. Contrary to media portrayals, Crawford argues that suburban drug sales are not oriented around money making but friendship and fun. Using economic anthropology, classic sociology, and neuroscience to analyze the life trajectories of these dealers, Crawford touches on issues of crime, race, culture, aging, gender, privilege, illegal drugs, and the limits of conventional economics as a framework to understand economic behavior.

The black is turning to crack cocaine as an escape from worry and depression of live in general. The young men work the street corners from dusk to dawn. Now as they make money from the sweat and blood of our men and the backs and knees of our women ask you, why does history repeats itself? We as a people need to wake up and put the drugs and guns down. Not just crack, all of it. First, they had us picking cotton now they have us selling crack. They say we are savages. We were never savages, we are a culture.

A Triumphant Experience Dealing with Crack Cocaine with My FRIEND, MY LOVER, MY HUSBAND. Mrs. Brown, in spite of self-denial old anxieties, memories, and pain, to rewrite her story from a Christian perspective about a victim's wife caught up in a drug culture. Brown now writes about the early years of her marriage absent of anger and hostility-redirecting the emotions of a wounded wife who wanted vengeance of her husband for creating years of suffering for her and the children. She has brought something new to her story after years of going through spousal drug recovery, mental healing, and finding God as the source of her strength. With an entirely different understanding of her past life, she can approach the story from the ways God was at work in all the drug-related difficulties create while her husband was dependent on crack cocaine. In finding the strength to overcome the warfare of the drug culture, the Browns found God during their family trials dealing with a crack addict. The crack cocaine epidemic within marriages and families has been the cause of many marital dysfunctions and dissolutions. She has taken the time to research and explain the physical and mental science of crack cocaine addiction to help others who are going through the same tragedy. To God be the Glory
