What Now? --Notes --References --IndexThe expansion of organized crime across national borders has become a key security concern for the international community. In this theoretically and empirically vibrant portrait of a global phenomenon, Jana Arsovska examines some of the most widespread myths about the so-called Albanian Mafia. Based on more than a decade of research, including interviews with victims, offenders, and law enforcement across ten countries, as well as court files and confidential intelligence reports, Decoding Albanian Organized Crime presents a comprehensive overview of the causes, codes of conduct, activities, migration, and structure of Albanian organized crime groups in the Balkans, Western Europe, and the United States. Paying particular attention to the dynamic relationships among culture, politics, and organized crime, the book develops a framework for understanding the global growth of the criminal underworld and provides a model for future comparative research.Organized crimeAlbaniaOrganized crimeBalkan PeninsulaOrganized crimeEurope, WesternOrganized crimeUnited StatesTransnational crimeElectronic books.Organized crimeOrganized crimeOrganized crimeOrganized crimeTransnational crime.364.106094965Arsovska Jana1981-1043443MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910459785503321Decoding Albanian organized crime2468421UNINA01160nam a22002891i 450099100117657970753620030820143400.0040407s1959 it |||||||||||||||||ita b12730488-39ule_instARCHE-071012ExLDip.to Filologia Class. e Scienze FilosoficheitaA.t.i.
