This book presents primary research conducted in Italy, USA,
Australia and the UK on countering strategies and institutional
perceptions of Italian mafias and local organized crime groups.
Through interviews and interpretation of original documents, this
study firstly demonstrates the interaction between institutional
understanding of the criminal threats and historical events that
have shaped these perceptions. Secondly, it combines analysis of
policies and criminal law provisions to identify how policing
models which combat mafia and organised crime activities are
organized and constructed in each country within a comparative
perspective. After presenting the similarities between the four
differing policing models, Sergi pushes the comparison further by
identifying both conceptual and procedural convergences and
divergences across both the four models and within international
frameworks. By looking at topics as varied as mafia mobility, money
laundering, drug networks and gang violence, this book ultimately
seeks to reconsider the conceptualizations of both mafia and
organized crime from a socio-behavioural and cultural perspective.
