Synopsis
Readers not only gain knowledge concerning the development of organized groups in the United States, but within international boundaries as well. Each group is viewed historically, territorially, economically, and politically in an effort to provide a complete package of all international groups. Each chapter also explores law enforcement inititatives, including history, legislation, and success rate, as well as a discussion of the corruption of authority where applicable. In depth analysis of La Cosa Nostras./Total anaylsis of street organized crime gangs and lack of police response./View of terrorist groups as organized crime narco/terrorists gangs, IRA, Arab groups, etc./Complete anaylsis and review of all ethnic and racial organized crime groups./All chapters include historical backgrounds on all groups. This book would be helpful in the training of members of the law enforcement and/or military community who deal with organized crime groups. It would give the average law enforcement/military officer a more than sufficient amount of information regarding the ongoing, past and present, operations of all organized crime worldwide. Helping them identify gang members in and out of the officer's work environment, making the officers aware of the criminal activities of these groups and how to identify a crime these groups might have committed., Organized Crime: An International Approach provides a unique perspective that addresses a wide range of domestic, international, traditional and non-traditional criminal syndicates. While incorporating traditional definitions and criminological theories of organized crime, this book goes one step further to address the changing face of organized crime today. Structured by group, the author examines each syndicate historically, territorially, economically, and politically--providing a systematic presentation and balanced treatment of organized crime in a global society. Using this contemporary and comprehensive approach, readers learn to compare each group's rules, regulations, hierarchy, ideological makeup and criminal enterprises and understand how legislators and law enforcement can respond with their own initiatives., Organized Crime: An International Approach provides a unique perspective that addresses a wide range of domestic, international, traditional and non-traditional criminal syndicates.
