This week we talk with RV Gundur who is a criminologist based out of Australia. We talk to him about his new book "Trying to Make It: The Enterprises, Gangs, and People of the American Drug Trade". We begin the discussion with broader set-up questions and then spend the rest of the interview just talking about the book. Of course we couldn't shove the whole book into a 1 hour episode but we tried to cover major points. RV discusses how he weaved his personal life into the book which makes for a captivating read.
RV has published in journals such as Deviant Behavior, Trends in Organized Crime, and Urban Affairs Review. You can follow RV on Twitter @gr4d or https://ravejudgerun.com/
