Despite strenuous efforts from local, national, and international
law enforcement, organized crime continues to thrive and
prosper-even centuries-old crime outfits are surviving the global
forces of mass migration and multinational business and finance.
From traditional gangland enterprises such as narcotics, gambling,
and prostitution, the world's mafias have moved into new sources of
illegal income, including high-tech arms smuggling, money
laundering, and identity fraud. Traditional Crime in the Modern
World tracks these organizations-the Italian and Mexican mafias,
Columbian drug cartels, Chinese triads, and others-across five
continents as they adapt to change, and assesses their prospects in
the short and long term. World events such as the collapse of the
Soviet Union and the 9/11 terror attacks are discussed in the
context of contributing to emerging markets for illicit goods and
services, and to evolving partnerships among criminal entities.
This timely volume: * Provides a comprehensive overview of how
mafia-like structures function today. * Analyzes in depth national
crime situations with global implications. * Examines the migration
of organized crime groups and their operations in their new
countries. * Gauges the influence of digital and other technologies
on organized crime. * Where applicable, notes the links between
organized crime and national political institutions. * Describes
the impact of the global financial crisis on crime organizations.
Concise, compelling, and deeply documented, Traditional Crime in
the Modern World is an eye-opening resource for researchers in
Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly with an interest in
organized crime and trafficking, as well as related topics of
Demography, Political Science, and International Relations.
