The Cocaine Kids by Terry M. Williams, also comes to mind.

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.
