Gangs of Bangladesh
«“This book is a very important contribution to organized crime research as well as development of southern criminology. This book is also a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners who work on issues pertaining to child protection. Ethnographic fieldwork to a foreign country is exciting, yet always fraught with challenges and uncertainties. Reading this book, I can see Sally Atkinson-Sheppard’s devotion to research on hard-to-reach population in an impoverished Asian country.” (Weidi Liu, Asian Journal of Criminology, Vol. 17, May 20, 22)»
