This Brief presents a social psychological approach to
understanding the reaction of communities to organized crime and
illegal groups. Based on a new theoretical framework and the latest
empirical evidence, this book explores questions of how criminal
organizations are able to gain power and exert governance over
entire territories. This book draws on the prototypical example of
Italian organized crime and analyzes the thesis that the power of
criminal groups is grounded in dynamics of legitimization rather
than fear or coercion. The compliance of a community is seen here
as stemming from the endorsement of specific cultural values and
norms. These cultural values are actively appropriated, mobilized
and transmitted by criminal groups, a dynamic the authors have
labeled Intracultural Appropriation Theory. The book emphasizes
what can be learned from using this emerging theory in similar
settings such as those of terrorist groups and violent gangs, and
points the way to solutions for this social problem.
