Biker Gangs and Transnational Organized Crime, Second Edition,
describes and analyzes a rapidly expanding global problem: criminal
acts committed by motorcycle gangs. Thomas Barker, one of the
world's top experts on outlaw biker gangs, offers fascinating
details about the Bandidos, the Vagos, the Mongols, and other "one
percenters" (criminal biker gangs, as opposed to the vast majority
of motorcycle enthusiasts). He combines this data with a
strengthened conceptual framework that makes sense of this
complicated picture. U.S.-based motorcycle gangs like the Hells
Angels have proliferated, especially in Canada and Europe, to the
point where these gangs have more members in other countries than
in the United States. Increasingly more often in recent years their
crimes are not limited to rumbles or drug use-these gangs challenge
the dominance of organized crime, leading to violent conflicts
between the rivals. Germany, Scandinavia, the UK, the Netherlands,
and Canada are particularly hard-hit by this rising violence. One
of Barker's unique contributions is his Criminal Organization
Continuum, building on the groundbreaking network approach to
organized crime proposed by Klaus von Lampe. Introduced in the
first edition, Barker elaborates his continuum tool and makes it
more multi-dimensional to help refine the definition of adult
criminal gangs. The product of years of research, this book lays
the groundwork for further study by offering students, police, and
researchers the most thorough account available of outlaw
motorcycle gangs.
