Gangster's Paradise
Savage, Jared
New Zealand is often regarded as ‘God’s-own country’, but in this hard-hitting exposé, journalist Jared Savage details just how it has become a paradise for gangs. Drugs, guns and money, and with the influx of ‘501’ deportees from Australia into the territory of local gangs, the outcome is inevitable…
Confronting and thought-provoking, this is an eye-opening examination of the complex web of organised crime in New Zealand and the challenges it presents to law enforcement.
Comments from BDS Reviewers
"This is an eye-opening book for those of us who live safe, honest lives."
"I learned the magnitude of the gangster problem in NZ. Lots of statistics and totals are quoted but they fit into the general text very neatly."
"This is a very sobering look at our own underworld and what has brought it about."
"As well as gory details, the book provides some understanding of the background of the offenders that helps to explain why they do what they do."
"I think this is a book that would interest many readers though by the end I was fed up with their nastiness."
