The Westies/Organized Crime Theory
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that investigates how the career of criminal Mickey Spillane of the Westies mob fits with criminological theory. "The Westies" is a term used to indicate an organized crime gang, which was made up of predominantly Irish Americans, and operated out of an area on Manhattan's West Side known as "Hell's Kitchen." One of the principle leaders of this group was Michael "Mickey" Spillane (no relation to the crime-novel author of the same name). The description of Spillane given by T.J. English in his text on this gang, The Westies, perfectly illustrates the criminological theories that have been applied to organized crime, as discussed by Winfree and Abadinsky in their text Understanding Crime.
