Routledge Handbook of Transnational Organized Crime

Transnational organized crime is a dangerous phenomenon that crosses borders, challenges States, exploits individuals, pursues profit, wrecks economies, destroys civil society, and ultimately weakens global democracy. It is a phenomenon that is all too often misunderstood and misrepresented. This Handbook attempts to redress the balance, by providing a fresh and interdisciplinary overview of the problems which TOC represents. The innovative aspect of this handbook is not only its interdisciplinary nature but also the dialogue between international academics and practitioners that it presents.
