Opis

Organized Crime: Analyzing Illegal Activities, Criminal Structures and Extra-legal Governance provides a systematic overview of the processes and structures commonly labeled 'organized crime', drawing on the core empirical and theoretical literature on 'organized crime as well as on relevant literature from a broader range of academic disciplines. Author Klaus von Lampe has structured Organized Crime in such that the complexities of the phenomena labeled 'organized crime' are broken down into key dimensions and categories. The book follows a distinction of three basic dimensions: (1.) illegal activities, (2.) patterns of interpersonal relations that are directly or indirectly supporting these illegal activities, and (3.) overarching illegal power structures that regulate and control these illegal activities.
