Organized Crime is an accessible introduction to organized crime: what it is and isn't. It examines the origins, evolution and present-day status of organized crime and dispels widespread myths about it, revealing why stereotypes are inadequate. The text also deals with comparative models of terrorism and the role of drug trafficking in proliferating organized crime.
The 7th Edition has significant new and updated material on topics such as definitions of organized crime, drug-smuggling networks and counterfeit goods. New material on ISIS and its “business model” discusses resemblances between terrorist organizations and organized crime groups in terms of structure, financing and recruiting mechanisms.
