I also picked up the nominally nonfiction "A Criminal
History of Mankind" by
Colin Wilson. I say "nominally" because although most
of the writing seems
informative and even of high interest to a hardboiled
fan like myself,
Wilson keeps throwing in tangents about the paranormal,
of which he's
apparently an enthusiastic believer. He goes on for
something like five
pages about telepathy. I'm about 150 pages in and he's
toned that stuff down
for a while, but still, I mean, c'mon. Is there a
better resource for an
introductory book on criminology I should look
for?

read the excellent "Turn off your Mind" on the "dark side of
the 60's" which features him heavily as a populariser of such
things, Crowley etc... The truth is in your library under T
