      abstract = {"This brief covers the unique crime group of Outlaw  Motorcycle Gangs. Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs are adult  criminal associations composed of "bikers" living a deviant  lifestyle that includes individual, group, and club  criminal behavior. These groups are sometimes called one  percenters, due to the American Motorcycle Association  statement that ninety-nine percent of motorcyclists are law  abiding citizens. While many may be familiar with the  reputation of the Hells' Angels, many may not realize the  wide network of other Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs or the extent  of their involvement in criminal activities. The brief  includes a breakdown of the criminal networks and  activities of these groups, which operate similarly to an  organized crime group. It also covers the evolution of  motorcycle clubs to motorcycle gangs. It examines the  recent trend of American-based motorcycle gangs into  international organized crime activities. This book will be  of interest to researcher studying criminology,  particularly organized crime and criminal networks, as well  as international and comparative law and public  policy."--Publisher's description.},
