A fascinating addition to any criminal law history library or collection, this book will likely be perused often. With a new introduction by Bryan A. Garner, President, LawProse, Inc. [1-2 new introduction], 292 pp. Originally published: Boston: The Christopher Publishing House, 1949. Monteleone was a police officer with thirty-two years of service throughout the United States.

Both instructive and amusing, it contains hundreds of entries relating to criminal matters of the time, such as "Academy" (a jail), "Across the River" (dead), "Grease the Track" (to fall under a moving train), "Looseners" (prunes), "Sprinkle the Flowers" (to distribute bribes), "Suey Bowel" (A Chinese opium den), "Write Short Stories" (to forge checks) and "Zib" (an easy victim).

The work of a father and son, this lively word-book presents the slang of law enforcement officers, including prison guards, customs officers, and street cops. It includes language gathered both from working and ex-cops and from printed sources. It evokes the life of this key speech group in an America in crisis--the pride and solidarity, the shame of corruption and brutality, the horror and the excitement of life on the front of the thin blue line. It is the sixth of Lewis Poteet's slang dictionaries, the others having come out of Nova Scotia's South Shore, the Eastern Townships of Quebec, and the worlds of hockey, cars and motorcycles, and aviation. These words and definitions offer raw material for anyone interested in language and culture, and entertainment and enlightenment for anyone fascinated by the spectacle of this living busy world of law and outlaws. The main body of the book consists of words and phrases from police slang, followed by a personal account of Aaron's attraction to and formation in police work, a set of stories from Aaron's first employment in such work, an essay on Canadian, British, and American regional police cultures by Lewis, and a Poteet Cop Talk Quiz to test your knowledge of the slang.

Edited by Gary Simes, Australian Underworld Slang contains two previously unpublished glossaries of Australian prison and underworld slang compiled in the 1940s and 1950s. The first was compiled in 1944 by Ted Hartley, a conscientious objector imprisoned for his political beliefs. On Hartley's release, the novelist Kylie Tennant asked him to produce the glossary to assist her in the writing of a novel about prisoners. The glossary then lay forgotten and unrecognized in the National Library until Gary Simes's fortuitous discovery of it. The second glossary was compiled by a prisoner calling himself `35', whose identity has never been divulged. The `Argot', as it was called, was revised by `35' in 1975, but this edition has not been located. Dr Simes combines the glossaries and draws on the full resources of the OED and the AND and his own formidable database of underworld and sexual language to place them in a broader lexicographical and historical context. He also contributes a long and important essay on the criminal literature since the Middle Ages.
