While the success of national and international law enforcement cooperation to suppress organized crime means that stable, large-scale criminal organizations like the Cosa Nostra or the Japanese Yakuza have seen their power reduced, organized crime remains a concern for many governments. Economic globalization and the easing of restrictions on exchanges across borders now provide ample opportunity for money-making activities in illegal markets. Policies designed to stop illegal market flows often shift these activities to new places or create new problems, as the U.S.- led war on drugs spread production and trafficking to a number South and Central American countries. The Oxford Handbook of Organized Crime provides informed, authoritative, and comprehensive overviews of these issues and other principal forms of organized crime, as well as the type and effectiveness of efforts to prevent and control them.

Leading scholars from criminology, law, sociology, history, and political science discuss the key concepts, history, and methods of organized crime; the major actors and interactions involved in it; the markets and activities frequently associated with organized crime; and the policies designed to combat it. Individual chapters on criminal organizations and specific activities or markets comprise the heart of the volume. The chapters on actors provide the history, analyze the structure and activities, and assess the strength and future prospects of each organization. Articles on particular markets address the patterns of activity, identify the most affected regions, and where possible provide estimated revenues, discuss factors promoting the activity, and disclose information on the victims and harms caused. The Oxford Handbook of Organized Crime delivers a systematic, high-quality, and truly global approach to the topic and with it a more complete understanding of organized crime in its many forms for researchers, government officials, and policymakers.

About the Author:

Letizia Paoli is Professor of Criminology at the University of Leuven Faculty of Law, Belgium. She is the author of Mafia Brotherhoods: Organized Crime Italian Style, coauthor (with Victoria A. Greenfield and Peter Reuter) of The World Heroin Market: Can Heroin Supply Be Cut? and (with Alessandro Donati) of The Sports Doping Market: Understanding Supply and Demand, and the Challenges of Their Control, and coeditor (with Cyrille Fijnaut) of Organised Crime in Europe.
Review:
The authors demonstrate on research and empirical evidence, the nature, scope and impact organised crime has across societies in all parts of the world, and that globalisation and open market economics are drivers for organised crime. Policy makers and indeed practitioners in the field seeking to tackle this epidemic would find this book an invaluable and insightful tool. * David J Dickson, Journal of the Law Society of Scotland * This is a very useful collection, deftly edited by Letizia Paoli, which includes as many authors and perspectives as the fields of knowledge and discussion it covers ... Thanks to its user-friendly structure, the book is of smooth consultation for those interested in specific themes within the subject area. * Vincenzo Ruggiero, Trends in Organised Crime *
