Traditional Organized Crime in the Modern World: Responses to Socioeconomic Change (Studies of Organized Crime, 11)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Despite strenuous efforts from local, national, and international law enforcement, organized crime continues to thrive and prosperâ€•even centuries-old crime outfits are surviving the global forces of mass migration and multinational business and finance. From traditional gangland enterprises such as narcotics, gambling, and prostitution, the worldâ€™s mafias have moved into new sources of illegal income, including high-tech arms smuggling, money laundering, and identity fraud. Traditional Crime in the Modern World tracks these organizationsâ€•the Italian and Mexican mafias, Columbian drug cartels, Chinese triads, and othersâ€•across five continents as they adapt to change, and assesses their prospects in the short and long term. World events such as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the 9/11 terror attacks are discussed in the context of contributing to emerging markets for illicit goods and services, and to evolving partnerships among criminal entities. This timely volume: â€¢ Provides a comprehensive overview of how mafia-like structures function today. â€¢ Analyzes in depth national crime situations with global implications. â€¢ Examines the migration of organized crime groups and their operations in their new countries. â€¢ Gauges the influence of digital and other technologies on organized crime. â€¢ Where applicable, notes the links between organized crime and national political institutions. â€¢ Describes the impact of the global financial crisis on crime organizations. Concise, compelling, and deeply documented, Traditional Crime in the Modern World is an eye-opening resource for researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly with an interest in organized crime and trafficking, as well as related topics of Demography, Political Science, and International Relations.
