Are you a nob, on a one-way ride? Perhaps you're a mechanic, or a standover man? Do you have brown kotchel or do you go mumping?

If you don't know what this means, then you need 'Crimspeak' - the complete guide to criminal slang as spoken in the UK, America, and Australia. Relax with a lace while you wait at the slaughter and bone up on your knowledge. Each of the over 2,500 entries covers the full range of definitions, examples of the word in use and, where possible, its origin.

'Crimspeak' also provides a useful guide to the nicknames of criminals, and their origins. Mark Read became Chopper because he took his own ears off.
