Mounting a vigorous critique on existing approaches to
transnational policing, this book lays out an argument situating
transnational policing within contemporary transformations of the
capitalist state and imperialism, looking at the particular case of
regional police cooperation against sex trafficking in Southeast
Europe.

For many people around the world, instances of what is described as
organized crime may be part of their everyday experience; in their
neighbourhoods, their streets, and the places they work and live.
Policymakers, law enforcement, and the media rarely fail to bring
up the issue when discussing the nature and seriousness of
contemporary criminal threats, and the appropriate responses
towards them. Many more people are familiar with the notion of
organized crime, as the film and TV industry regularly draw on
fictional and real figures and situations. Organized crime feels
like a tangible, inescapable issue in today's world. In this Very
Short introduction, Georgios A. Antonopoulos and Georgios
Papanicolaou uncover the reality of organized crime in our world
today. Shining a light on the people involved in organized crime,
Antonopoulos and Papanicolaou question whether the term 'organized'
is used to evoke the image, the operations, and power of a
legitimate organization, such as a corporation. Discussing whether
there are particular crimes that the label 'organized crime'
applies to, or if any crime can be organized, they also consider
what happens when organized crime extends beyond borders. Using
examples from across the globe, they analyse the different cultural
traditions of organized crime, such as the Mafia, Yakuza, and
Triads, and also the nature of organized crime, from arms
trafficking and drug dealing to extortion. Finally they explore the
methods and agencies in place to control and prevent organized
crime. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from

This brief offers a unique and innovative account of the role of
internet and digital technologies in human smuggling and
trafficking. It explores new illegal paths through the web by
analyzing how traffickers and smugglers use the visible and dark
web during different phases of the process, including recruitment,
transportation, and exploitation. Featuring case studies from two
European countries, Italy and the United Kingdom, it outlines the
types of websites used in these processes, how they are used, and
common behavior patterns. With a view of transnational criminal
activities involving actors from individual criminal entrepreneurs
to organized crime groups and fluid large criminal networks, this
brief will be of use to law enforcement, researchers of trafficking
and organized crime, and policy makers.
