"Organized Crime: Culture, Markets and Policies" offers a comprehensive analysis of the phenomenon of global organized crime. Authors Dina Siegel and Hans Nelen explore the complex interconnections between crime, culture, and markets in the context of globalization. The book highlights the challenges that arise for criminology in understanding and researching the dynamics of organized crime. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach that combines international, national, and local dimensions of specific issues related to organized crime. Rather than providing simple answers, the work offers an overview of current criminological research and encourages critical engagement with the concepts and their significance. Readers are prompted to reflect on the theoretical tools and methods necessary for investigating these complex topics.
