Ruthless, cruel and irresistibly cool, the Mafia has always
captured the darker side of the imagination. But just what is the
Mafia, how does it operate, and what can be done to combat it? In
this dramatic and informative book, James Finckenauer debunks the
Mafia mystique and explores the sinister reality lurking beneath
the romanticised surface. Demonstrating that organized crime is a
multi-faceted and complex phenomenon, he argues that it
destabilises society on a global scale, perpetuating untold
economic, physical, psychological, and societal damage through its
control of criminal markets, violence and corruption. Providing
vital insight into a hidden world, and exploring the hype
surrounding the topic, Mafia and Organized Crime: A Beginner's
Guide is indispensable for anyone intrigued by, or concerned about,
this widely misunderstood phenomenon.
