Description

Book Synopsis
This volume examines the dynamics and control of organized and corporate crime in their national and international contexts. 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.
