Número de Páginas: 494

In Gangs and Organized Crime, George W. Knox, Gregg W. Etter, and Carter F. Smith offer an informed and carefully investigated examination of gangs and organized crime groups, covering street gangs, prison gangs, outlaw motorcycle gangs, and organized crime groups from every continent. The authors have spent decades investigating gangs as well as researching their history and activities, and this dual professional-academic perspective informs their analysis of gangs and crime groups. They take a multidisciplinary approach that combines criminal justice, public policy and administration, law, organizational behavior, sociology, psychology, and urban planning perspectives to provide insight into the actions and interactions of a variety of groups and their members. This textbook is ideal for criminal justice and sociology courses on gangs as well as related course topics like gang behavior, gang crime and the inner city, organized crime families, and transnational criminal groups. Gangs and Organized Crime is also an excellent addition to the professional’s reference library or primer for the general reader. More information is available at the supporting website –...

Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists

Autor: Antonio Nicaso , Lee Lamothe

Número de Páginas: 290

In this ground-breaking book, Antonio Nicaso, an internationally renowned expert on organized crime groups, and Lee Lamothe, a veteran investigative journalist specializing in criminal conspiracies, present solid evidence of how established organized crime groups — such as the Mafia and the Triads — have changed their tactics and allegiances to protect their interests against the rise of violent and power-hungry gangs from Albania, Mexico, and Russia. Angels, Mobsters, & Narco-Terrorists reveals how, due to their shared border, the USA and Canada have become prime targets for criminal groups that engage in money laundering and prostitution rings, and trafficking in human cargo, narcotics, and arms. On the international scene, state-sanctioned crime is thriving on heroin profits and cyber crime is emerging as a very lucrative and baffling activity to investigate and shut down. Dive inside the world of organized crime and discover how far it has penetrated our lives.

Un parrain à la Maison Blanche

Autor: Fabrizio Calvi

Número de Páginas: 222

Tout dans ce livre est incroyable. Et le pire, c’est que tout est vrai Donald Trump est président des Etats-Unis. Officiellement, il n’a aucun rapport avec la Mafia. Il reconnait juste avoir été obligé de négocier avec certaines familles qu’il qualifie de « very nice people ». En réalité, la vie cachée de l’ancien promoteur repose sur des décennies de concubinage avec la criminalité organisée, italo-américaine puis russe. Mais pas une seule inculpation ! Au fil des années les motifs n'ont pourtant pas manqué, mais à chaque fois, Donald s'en est tiré. Le secret, bien gardé, de cette stupéfiante survie ? Le FBI, que le futur Président a manipulé, alternant dénégations et... dénonciations. Un temps menaçant, celui-ci finit étrangement par le protéger. Cette stratégie périlleuse lui ouvrira les portes de la Maison Blanche. Et de sa réélection ? C’est ce que montre cette enquête extraordinaire qui s’appuie sur des témoignages inédits, des archives judiciaires et des rapports officiels. Fabrizio Calvi, déjà auteur de nombreuses enquêtes explosives, dont L’œil de Washington, avec Thierry Pfister, nous entraine dans une fascinante...

La mafia rusa.Genésis, desarrollo y asentamiento en España

Autor: Julián López-muñoz

Número de Páginas: 336

La «mafia rusa» es un prodigio criminal que evoca un acervo mítico. El sentimiento de pertenencia a ella por parte de sus integrantes trasciende más allá de esa visión romántica del superhombre popular que opone resistencia a la autoridad y a los que detentan el poder, para finalmente atraerlos a su causa desde el pedestal de «ladrones nobles». Los intentos de conseguir riqueza, poder o influencia, tanto en sus países de procedencia como en España, no encuentran freno posible que pueda detenerlos in perpetuum.La criminalización de la sociedad para alcanzar bienes de consumo durante la época soviética favoreció los mercados negros, y las organizaciones criminales se fueron consolidando y adaptando a las diversas reformas acaecidas en la URSS. La corrupción no fue un fenómeno novedoso, ya existía en la Rusia pre comunista. La disolución del sistema soviético y la apertura de fronteras con aires de libertad hicieron emerger, desde el debilitamiento del Estado, grupos criminales con técnicas delictivas hasta entonces desconocidas, que colapsaron los sistemas preventivos de Occidente.En España se sintieron seguros; mediante matrimonios en blanco y otros métodos...

The Encyclopedia of Canadian Organized Crime

Autor: Peter Edwards

Número de Páginas: 306

You may never again think of Canadians as law-abiding Respected crime reporters Peter Edwards and Michel Auger have pooled their research and expertise to create The Encyclopedia of Canadian Organized Crime. Sometimes grim, sometimes amusing, and always entertaining, this book is filled with 300 entries and more than 150 illustrations, covering centuries of organized crime. From pirates such as “Black Bart,” who sheltered in isolated Newfoundland coves to strike at the shipping lanes between Europe and the North American colonies, all the way to the most recent influx of Russian mobsters, who arrived after the end of the Cold War in 1989 and are now honing their sophisticated technological skills on the Western public, Edwards and Auger enumerate the personalities and the crimes that have kept Canadian law enforcement busy. Here too are the Sicilian and Calabrian gangs, the American and Colombian drug connections, the bikers whose internal struggles have left innocent bystanders dead (and who tried to murder Auger), as well as many unexpected figures, such as the Sundance Kid, who spent years in Canada. Arranged in alphabetical entries for easy browsing, and illustrated...

Traditional Organized Crime in the Modern World

Autor: Dina Siegel , Henk Van De Bunt

Número de Páginas: 198

Despite strenuous efforts from local, national, and international law enforcement, organized crime continues to thrive and prosper—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 world’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 organizations—the Italian and Mexican mafias, Columbian drug cartels, Chinese triads, and others—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: • Provides a comprehensive overview of how mafia-like structures function today. • Analyzes in depth national crime situations with global implications. • Examines the migration of organized crime...

Beyond the Mafia

Autor: Sue Mahan , Katherine O'neil

Número de Páginas: 276

Moving past the scope of Mafia crime families in New York and Chicago, Beyond the Mafia offers, for the first time, a comparative perspective on non-traditional organized crime in the Americas. Providing in-depth coverage of 10 criminal groups, the focus of organized crime expands to Canada and Latin America, offering an extensive American view of organized crime from outside the traditional Mafia. Although the groups covered have contemporary significance, chapters include a historical overview as well as future considerations. Editor Sue Mahan has coordinated a coherent paradigm for the comparative study of organized crime: Part I introduces organized crime as an enterprise and explores patterns found in legitimate business along with those in criminal organizations. Part II discusses the role of violence in organized crime. Part III covers the concept of ethnicity and the relevance of culture to organized criminal groups. Part IV addresses the issue of opportunity and the ways in which opportunities for success are structured within organized crime. Finally, a concluding section explains the relationships between criminal justice policy and organized crime. This book is a...

Número de Páginas: 296

Covering the sweep of Russian history from empire to Soviet Union to post-Soviet state, this new edition of Russia's Long Twentieth Century is an accessible textbook that encourages students to start a lively conversation with Russia’s storied past. Chronologically organized, the book moves beyond the traditional Cold War framework, situating Russian history within world history.

Hay dos mundos que coexisten gracias a la fuerza de lo secreto: uno ficticio, en el que los gobiernos intentan defender los valores de los ciudadanos y los derechos democráticos, y otro real, en el que se mezclan los intereses del Estado y de las élites económicas. Esta obra es una ventana al mundo real, aquel en que los políticos y los servicios de inteligencia y seguridad nacional se codean con organizaciones criminales, y en el que las agencias de control financiero contribuyen a la opacidad de cuentas de multimillonarios, dictadores y mafiosos cuyo dinero corrupto está socavando las instituciones. Desde la City de Londres hasta Ginebra, de Rusia a Kazajistán, pasando por Zimbabue, Canadá, el Congo..., el recorrido de esta obra nos muestra no solo los entresijos del dinero turbio, sino también los nexos entre quienes operan y se enriquecen con ese capital ilícito. Narrado como un thriller, este libro revela de manera asombrosa la red de dinero negro que inunda la economía mundial, una lectura imprescindible en tiempos de evasión fiscal, blanqueo de capitales y tráfico de influencias.

En moins de dix ans, la mafia russe a opéré une formidable montée en puissance, débordant son territoire traditionnel pour submerger l'Europe, le Moyen-Orient et l'Amérique du Nord : Paris, Anvers, Lausanne, Berlin, Brooklyn connaissent désormais les stigmates de cette criminalité eurasienne qui, pour la seule Russie, rassemble 5 700 gangs, 100 000 bras armés et plusieurs centaines de nouveaux parrains venus du froid. Comment en est-on arrivé là ? « L'Organizatsiya » se focalise sur le centre nerveux de cette nébuleuse criminelle, en retraçant l'histoire d'une poignée d'hommes — une vingtaine tout au plus — qui ont gagné le pari de régenter l'Unterwelt, de s'allier à la Cosa Nostra et aux cartels colombiens — bref, de rendre internationale une confédération criminelle autrefois évanescente. Nourri par une longue enquête de terrain, le témoignage inédit d'intermédiaires de la mafia russe, ainsi que de nombreux documents d'analyses du FBI américain et du BKA allemand, ce document promène le lecteur dans les coulisses du milieu russe de Brighton Beach, de la mouvance criminelle de Tel-Aviv, de la « Brigade » de Vilnius, des villas somptueuses de la...

Ce livre propose une plongée dans un univers extravagant et inquiétant au gré de destins singuliers et d’itinéraires hauts en couleur. Quand pouvoir et sport se confondent.
