Elgar Advanced Introductions are stimulating and thoughtful
introductions to major fields in the social sciences and law,
expertly written by the world's leading scholars. Designed to be
accessible yet rigorous, they offer concise and lucid surveys of
the substantive and policy issues associated with discrete subject
areas.Organised crime has become a major problem globally. Its
negative impact on economies, societies, politics, human rights and
security is profound: fraud, money-laundering, drug, arms and human
trafficking, and collusion with both law enforcement and
terrorists, for example, are all significant issues. Yet
specialists disagree not only on the scale and nature of organised
crime, but even on its definition. This Advanced Introduction to
Organised Crime explores these disagreements, examines the nature
and causes of contemporary organised crime, and offers constructive
suggestions on how to counter it. Key features include: - Emphasis
on the rapidly changing structures of organised crime, its
increasingly transnational nature and sophisticated use of the
internet. - Psycho-social and cultural explanations, as well as
system-related ones - Explores the latest techniques for measuring
organised crime - Provides detailed analyses of six of the best
known transnational organised crime syndicates - Focuses on human
trafficking to exemplify many of the key points - Examines the many
methods that can be used - not only by states and international
organisations, but also by civil society and individuals - to
combat organised crime. Accessible and comprehensive, the Advanced
Introduction to Organised Crime is an ideal resource for
undergraduate and postgraduate students studying criminology,
political science, international relations, law and sociology. Its
profound insights are invaluable to practitioners, including law
enforcement officers, investigative journalists and criminologists.
