Items related to Brotherhoods: Inside the Outlaw Motorcycle Clubs
Synopsis
Bikers consider themselves the last free people in society, unconstrained by the rules and regulations that govern ordinary citizens. Proud of their status as being outside the law, these gangs guard their privacy jealously, and have strict admission rules. The Brotherhoods is an account of biker culture that is as close to firsthand as is ever likely to be published. Drawing on in-depth interviews, personal stories and years of meticulous research, leading biker-culture expert Arthur Veno explains the rules and rituals of the clubs, tells of landmark incidents, and profiles some of the most infamous bikers. In this fully revised edition of The Brotherhoods he also outlines the rise of the so-called Nike bikers whose drugs and turf wars threaten to spill onto the streets, and the attempts by governments to introduce controversial laws to control the violence.

Review
"One of the few accounts that balances research, studies and statistics with interviews, firsthand accounts and personal stories. . . . Not many people get that kind of access to OMCs and even fewer are able to write with such a balanced view." --"NAVY News"
About the Author
Professor Arthur Veno was born in the US and has lived in Australia since 1974. Most recently director of Monash University's Centre for Police and Justice Studies, Veno has studied the biker clubs for seventeen years, but he's no ordinary academic - he counts members of the Gypsy Jokers, Hell's Angels and Coffin Cheaters as his friends - and they call him the Mad Professor!
