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