Beschreibung:
This volume examines the dynamics and control of organized and corporate crime in their national and international contexts. Global developments since the Second World War have combined to produce social, economic and political environments which have increased both the profitability and destructive impact of systematic illegal activity. These articles challenge the simplistic assumption that crime is caused by bad individuals, acting alone or conspiring together, and that crime can be adequately dealt with by increasing conventional police activity. This assumption does not square with the available empirical evidence.
