Recenzje

"David Bright and Chad Whelan have written a must-read primer for anyone seeking to understand, investigate, or respond to organised crime. Combining research findings with practical examples from the field, this book illustrates how surveillance, detection and enforcement efforts to disrupt organized crime benefit from adopting a network perspective."

"At a general level, social theory has long observed social relations in terms of networks. This book neatly brings together what is understood about how concepts concerning social networks informs thinking about both crime and law enforcement. Readers will benefit from the clear elucidation of research and theory in this policy domain."

James Sheptycki, Professor of Criminology, York University, Toronto, Canada

"This is a timely, lucid, and well-informed examination of the network perspective as it relates to organized crime and organized crime control. The main emphasis is on the potential, as well as on the limitations, of conceptualizing organized crime in terms of criminal networks...In many ways, this book is a valuable contribution to the literature."
