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:\n\n•\tProvides a comprehensive overview of how mafia-like structures function today.\n•\tAnalyzes in depth national crime situations with global implications.\n•\tExamines the migration of organized crime groups and their operations in their new countries.\n•\tGauges the influence of digital and other technologies on organized crime.\n•\tWhere applicable, notes the links between organized crime and national political institutions.\n•\tDescribes the impact of the global financial crisis on crime organizations.\n\nConcise, compelling, and deeply documented, Traditional Crime in the Modern World is an eye-opening resource for researchers in Criminology and Criminal Justice, particularly with an interest in organized crime and trafficking, as well as related topics of Demography, Political Science, and International Relations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-04-13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781489987532\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4614-3212-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 196\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer New York","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578560471180,"sku":"9781489987532","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781489987532.jpg?v=1776450329","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781489987532","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
