Organised Crime and Law Enforcement: A Network Perspective examines
organised crime and law enforcement through the conceptual lens of
networks. The book takes stock of the many ways in which network
theories and concepts, including social network analysis, can apply
to studying both organised crime and law enforcement responses to
organised crime. It is the first attempt to bring these diverse
network perspectives and distinct fields of research together. The
book is organised into two parts. The first part uses network
perspectives to advance our understanding of the interconnected
social structure of organised criminal groups, to expose their
strengths and vulnerabilities, and to illuminate factors that
enable such groups to undertake complex criminal activities. The
second part uses a network lens to examine the challenges that
organised criminal groups present for a wide range of law
enforcement agencies, and the utility of network theories and
concepts in understanding and informing their responses to
organised crime. Written in a clear and direct style, the book will
appeal to scholars and practitioners of criminology, sociology, law
enforcement, and all those interested in learning more about
theories of organised crime and its relationship with law
enforcement.
