Organized Crime Legislation in the European Union
Just a few months after the entry into force of the EU Framework Decision on the fight against organized crime, this book provides an unprecedented analysis of the national and European legislation on organized crime. The book provides a critical examination of the European policies and legal instruments to promote the harmonization and approximation of criminal law in this field (including the United Nations Convention on Transnational Organized Crime). The current level of harmonization among EU Member States and the approximation to the standards of the new Framework Decision are discussed in detail, with the help of tables, graphs and maps. The results highlight the problems surrounding the international legal instruments and the inconsistencies of the national approaches to combating organized crime.

Challenging the Mafia of Calabria
This book focuses on the Italian mafia organization, 'Ndrangheta, and its pervasive influence on the region of Calabria. While the majority of the criminal activity is committed by a small percentage of the population, the entire region suffers from the mafia presence. The goal of the book is to expose the inner workings of 'Ndrangheta to understand its power structure and methods, highlight the negative impact of 'Ndrangheta on the majority of innocent Calabrian citizens, and develop strategies to dismantle the organization by identifying and targeting its vulnerabilities. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a criminologically-grounded roadmap for effectively combating 'Ndrangheta and liberating Calabria from its grip.

Histories of Transnational Criminal Law
This book provides an account of the origins of transnational criminal law. The volume examines a range of topics, beginning with normative, intellectual, and institutional histories. It discusses specific transnational crimes ranging from piracy to cybercrime, and scrutinises jurisdiction, modes of liability, and the place of the individual.
Transnational Organised Crime
Organised crime covers a wide range of activities, including drug trafficking, illegal trafficking of people, and fraud. The existence of a land border does not impede these operations; instead in many cases it is used to their advantage. In response, law enforcement strategies must include a transnational, multi-agency approach. This book critically analyses the extent to which Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland have been successful in implementing effective action against transnational organised crime. It explores the adoption of key law enforcement strategies and measures in these jurisdictions, and evaluates how regional (EU law) and international (UN Convention) standards have...
Crime, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice in Europe
This unique collection of essays celebrates the twentieth anniversary of the seminal journal the European Journal of Crime, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice, as well as the outstanding and uninterrupted work over that period of its founding Editor-in-Chief, Professor Cyrille Fijnaut. The volume consists of a selection of some of the most ground-breaking articles published over the past twenty years, covering the three areas of focus of the journal: problems of crime, developments in criminal law and changes in criminal justice. It thus explores such diverse issues as the problems of crime in Central and Eastern Europe after the disappearance of the Soviet Union and the collapse of Yugoslavi...
Understanding Criminal Networks
Understanding Criminal Networks is a short methodological primer for those interested in studying illicit, deviant, covert, or criminal networks using social network analysis (SNA). Accessibly written by Gisela Bichler, a leading expert in SNA for dark networks, the book is chock-full of graphics, checklists, software tips, step-by-step guidance, and straightforward advice. Covering all the essentials, each chapter highlights three themes: the theoretical basis of networked criminology, methodological issues and useful analytic tools, and producing professional analysis. Unlike any other book on the market, the book combines conceptual and empirical work with advice on designing networking studies, collecting data, and analysis. Relevant, practical, theoretical, and methodologically innovative, Understanding Criminal Networks promises to jumpstart readers’ understanding of how to cross over from conventional investigations of crime to the study of criminal networks.
