Turns out crime doesn't pay, at least not much once layers of insulating flunkies and corrupt public officials take their cuts. The real con is law-enforcement PR, scare-monger budget increases and appeals for new laws that further disenfranchise the powerless to make policework easier. Wages of Crime is non-fiction, laying out where the money goes, and doesn't go, in a fear-driven world.
