The concept of 'organised crime' is constructed and mobilised by a
milieu of complex factors and discourses including a politics of
law and order, and international insecurity, combined with the
vested interests and priorities of scholars, politicians,
government officials, and policing authorities. This book
challenges existing assumptions and accepted understandings of
organised crime, and explores the ways in which it is amplified and
reconstructed for political purposes. This book critiques how the
constitution of the 'organised crime problem' in academic and
political discourse provides the conditions necessary for the
development of an extensive and international architecture of law,
policing, surveillance and intelligence. It examines emerging
challenges and future directions including the impact of technology
on new problems, and for transnational policing, such as the ease
with which the Internet enables crime to be committed across
borders, and for electronic communications to be protected with
strong encryption hampering interception. No other text presents an
integrated and comprehensive study of both the politicisation and
policing of organised crime, while questioning the outcomes for
society at large. Drawing on international fieldwork and interviews
with senior national and supranational policing personnel, this
book compares and contrasts various narratives on organised crime.
It will be of interest to students and researchers engaged in
studies of criminology, criminal justice, organised crime,
policing, and law.

This book addresses the use of biometrics - including fingerprint
identification, DNA identification and facial recognition - in the
criminal justice system: balancing the need to ensure society is
protected from harms, such as crime and terrorism, while also
preserving individual rights. It offers a comprehensive discussion
of biometric identification that includes a consideration of: basic
scientific principles, their historical development, the
perspectives of political philosophy, critical security and
surveillance studies; but especially the relevant law, policy and
regulatory issues. Developments in key jurisdictions where the
technology has been implemented, including the United Kingdom,
United States, Europe and Australia, are examined. This includes
case studies relating to the implementation of new technology,
policy, legislation, court judgements, and where available,
empirical evaluations of the use of biometrics in criminal justice
systems. Examples from non-western areas of the world are also
considered. Accessibly written, this book will be of interest to
undergraduate, postgraduate and research students, academic
researchers, as well as professionals in government, security,
legal and private sectors.
