title: Beggars and Thieves: Lives of Urban Street Criminals (Writing: History, Poetics, Cultural Crit)
author:  Mark S. Fleisher 
description: <DIV><P>&ldquo;The most important study of street criminals published in twenty years. After reading this book, I find that neither liberal nor conservative proposals for meeting the growing inner city youth crime problem are persuasive. Likewise, neither conventional family-preservation policies nor more social programs can be taken as serious responses to the crisis. For policy makers, scholars, activists, and average citizens who want to defuse urban America&rsquo;s ticking crime bomb, this book is truly must reading.&rdquo;&mdash;John J. Dilulio, Jr., author of <I>No Escape: The Future of American Corrections</I></P></DIV>
