This book aims to provide an accessible introduction to the study
of organised crime - about those who commit it, the effect it has
on individuals, businesses and states, and the ways in which states
and the international community have sought to contain it. It
explores all facets of what has become one of the key problems
facing governments, policy makers and law enforcement agencies in
the early twenty-first century. Organised Crime has four
predominant themes: the nature and central concepts of organised
crime the specific activities with which it is associated its
origins and growth nationally, regionally and globally the efforts
by the international community and law enforcement agencies to
contain, regulate and control the risks that it poses. The book
contains a number of detailed case studies illustrating the growth
of organised crime at national, international and transnational
levels, ranging from the mafia, criminal gangs in the UK through to
the new wave of organised crime in Russia and the post-Soviet
states. It will be essential reading for both students and
practitioners in the police and other law enforcement agencies who
have a concern with organised crime worldwide.
