(Louisiana has been, by tradition, the most corrupt of all US states, but in recent years Illinois has been closing the lead.) Atlantic City, Jersey City, Hackensack, Hoboken, Secaucus, Newark, Camden (three recent Camden mayors have been jailed for corruption)in these cities as in others corruption isnt aberrant but rather a way of (political) life . . ."Sitting between the great cities of New York and Philadelphia, New Jersey has been by tradition a heavily organized Mafia state, as it was at one time a northern outpost of the Ku Klux Klan, with a concentration of members in Trenton, Camden, Monmouth County, and South Jersey . . . In such ways, the most civilized and decent among us find that we are complicit with the most brutal murderers. We enter into literally unspeakable alliancesof which we dare not speak except through the obliquities and indirections of fiction, poetry, and visual art of the sort gathered here in New Jersey Noir.
