Revised and updated to reflect trends in transnational and cyber crime as well as recent

Organized Crime: From the Mob to Transnational Organized Crime provides readers with a clear
understanding of organized crime, including its definition and causes, how it is categorized under the
law, models to explain its persistence, and how the criminal justice system handles organized crime,
including investigation, prosecution, defense, and sentencing.
This book offers a comprehensive survey, including an extensive history of the Mafia in the United
States; a legal analysis of the offenses that underlie organized crimes; specific attention to modern
manifestations of organized crime activity, such as human smuggling, Internet crimes, and other
transnational criminal operations; and the application of ethics to the study of organized crime.
• Chapters are enhanced by updated photos, tables, charts, and critical thinking exercises
that help students apply concepts to actual case examples.
• Every chapter includes two student-friendly special features: Organized Crime Biography
and Organized Crime at the Movies.
• A new section on threat assessment in organized crime has been added.
• A glossary gives students a quick reference for looking up important definitions of
organized crime-related terms, and a Timeline of Organized Crime in the United States
highlights important events in the history of organized crime.
