Depending on the nature of the project, you also might want them to
look at a show like the Sopranos as well as other "gangster films".
The Sopranos is especially good at showing how folks rationalize their
criminal activities. It has a lot of flaws, but David Simon's book
"Tony Soprano's America: The Criminal Side of the American Dream" might
be a good place to start.
