Global Organized Crime
In the current processes of political, economic and cultural changes serious cross-border forms of organized crime receive unprecedented attention as spectacular global media events, as 'threats' of all sorts, and as priority targets of criminal policy and political agendas. Most books on 'global organized crime' focus on one particular region, topic or event, and are written from one specific theoretical and disciplinary framework. The renowned scholars who have contributed to this volume present up-to-date expertise on regions as distant and different as Russia, Colombia, the Netherlands, Israel, Peru and Britain. They tackle phenomena such as international drug trafficking, alien and women smuggling, terrorism, East European organized crime and financial crimes. They show not only how these issues are interrelated, but also the way in which they interact with social, economic and political legitimate structures. The contributors critically question the policies and strategies currently pursued. They explore different theoretical arguments from the perspective of their own disciplines, which include economics, criminology, political science and anthropology.
Organised Criminal Terrorism
In this book contributors engage into the theoretical dialogue about the interplay between terrorism and organised crime. Arguing in favour of its existence, the authors of the book seek to define the phenomenon of ‘organised criminal terrorism’ and examine the appropriateness of the international and regional legal frameworks on terrorism and organised crime to address this unitary criminal phenomenon. The volume reveals similarities and differences between terrorism and organised crime that support views in favour of new international legal instruments and those that defend the current approach to combat organised criminal terrorism. Contributors hope that the book will form the basis for a more informed discussion on the issue.
Failed Evidence
With the popularity of crime dramas like CSI focusing on forensic science, and increasing numbers of police and prosecutors making wide-spread use of DNA, high-tech science seems to have become the handmaiden of law enforcement. But this is a myth,asserts law professor and nationally known expert on police profiling David A. Harris. In fact, most of law enforcement does not embrace science—it rejects it instead, resisting it vigorously. The question at the heart of this book is why. »» Eyewitness identifications procedures using simultaneous lineups—showing the witness six persons together,as police have traditionally done—produces a significant number of incorrect identifications.
