In the maelstrom of globalization and cyberspace, organized crime
continues to defy definition. A diverse array of activities is
perpetuated by criminal organizations, criminal groups and
associations, and gangs, and it is clear that one specific label is
no longer adequate. This book offers a uniquely global approach to
organized crime and the multitude of forces that shape it in the
21st century. As well as discussing definitions of and the
historical roots of organized crime, this book examines various
forms of organized crime around the world in the US, Mexico, Latin
America and the Caribbean, Russia and Europe, Asia and Africa. This
revised and updated new edition includes coverage of: the rise of
the 'Ndrangheta in Italy and their global expansion; the impact of
drug legalization on organized crime and the problem of
methamphetamine; organ trading, money laundering, and animal
poaching; changes in gang traditions and gangland penitentiaries;
the decentralization of Mexican cartels, the growth of opium
production in Myanmar, and the drug war in Africa; and the
advancement of ISIS and the emergence of the Silk Road and the Dark
Net. This book is essential reading for students engaged in the
study of global and transnational organized crime, with features
including chapter overviews, key terms, critical thinking
questions, and case studies.
