JIM has had a 40 years career in the law. During that period, he worked as an outdoor clerk for Weightman's, a small legal firm in Liverpool, at the end of the 1970s and moved to London in the early 1980s. He worked in-house for Clifford Turner (now Clifford Chance) during the 1980s and Allen & Overy during the 1990s. With Clifford Turner and Allen & Overy being two of the top five City of London law firms, he spent most of my time working on some of the highest legal costs, disputes, and budgets over a two-decade period. Throughout the last two decades, he has worked independently. With a client base ranged from individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to billionaires and corporate clients such as Goldman Sachs. He has worked on many legal costs dispute cases throughout the UK. The different systems across England, Wales, Scotland and the Channel Islands all suffer, from his view, the same problems, including a lack of transparency and a lack of regulatory controls and protocols to protect the client from overcharging. The book also looks at Jim's life journey from a comprehensive school education in inner city Liverpool in 70s to publishing stats on the UK legal market place which have over two decades been published worldwide. The book looks at specific cases and his fights with the legal regulators in the UK. Some cases are absolutely shocking and bring shame on the legal profession and legal regulators. To balance the book, he has added chapters which give a personal account of why/who he is.

This book exposes the fact that DUI law enforcement is an income producing racket much more so than a public safety operation. They claim otherwise, of course, and deny that they have any interest at all in profit, and that their only goal is to protect the general public from dangerous drivers. The author, George Damusis, reveals the deceitfulness of that claim, given that the vast majority of DUI arrests are of common, decent social drinking citizens, who caused no harm. He was one of them, and now argues with great conviction that it's a form of tyranny and a violation of human rights to arrest, criminalize, extort, and virtually enslave decent citizens for a year just for drinking moderately before driving. He calls attention to the unbiased traffic accident research compiled over many years that proves that moderately intoxicated drivers cause no more accidents than alcohol free drivers. So, what rule of logic then allows law enforcement to declare these common citizens to be criminals? He claims instead that all those cavalier and unnecessary DUI arrests made by profit motivated police are the real crime. While Mr. Damusis does agree that the best and most rational safety policy is to not drink any alcohol at all before driving, he also insists that those who do drink in moderation before driving are not criminals by any stretch of the imagination. They are, after all, doing only what millions of social drinking drivers do so naturally every weekend in this our government sanctioned, alcohol permissive culture. These common citizens are charged with an actual crime simply to make it legal to arrest and fine them repeatedly. It's clearly a case of policing for profit, and not a case of policing for public safety. Mr. Damusis is not a law professional, and received no professional mentoring in the writing of this book. His arguments are a product of his personal experiences, the experiences of others, and his serious internet research. This book severely criticizes our oppressive DUI laws and DUI enforcement policies, but also offers constructive proposals for bringing moral reform to the entire DUI law enforcement system.

This book presents a multi-disciplinary investigation into extortion rackets with a particular focus on the structures of criminal organisations and their collapse, societal processes in which extortion rackets strive and fail and the impacts of bottom-up and top-down ways of fighting extortion racketeering. Through integrating a range of disciplines and methods the book provides an extensive case study of empirically based computational social science. It is based on a wealth of qualitative data regarding multiple extortion rackets, such as the Sicilian Mafia, an international money laundering organisation and a predatory extortion case in Germany. Computational methods are used for data analysis, to help in operationalising data for use in agent-based models and to explore structures and dynamics of extortion racketeering through simulations. In addition to textual data sources, stakeholders and experts are extensively involved, providing narratives for analysis and qualitative validation of models. The book presents a systematic application of computational social science methods to the substantive area of extortion racketeering. The reader will gain a deep understanding of extortion rackets, in particular their entrenchment in society and processes supporting and undermining extortion rackets. Also covered are computational social science methods, in particular computationally assisted text analysis and agent-based modelling, and the integration of empirical, theoretical and computational social science.

Mafia-type organizations generate several distorting effects on the economy. In Italy their presence is endemic, and not only in Southern regions such as Sicily, Campania or Calabria. Such organizations endure the fierce and continuous pressure exerted by Italian anti-mafia policy, maybe the most articulate and effective such policy in the world. Nevertheless, they have survived by submerging, transforming, and relocating their operations. The analysis of the different Mafias of today benefits from a huge amount of empirical data produced by investigators. This allows us to outline more reliable indexes of the penetration of Mafiosi in given territories, as well as to estimate the size of their activities in a transparent and empirically testable way. The contributions gathered in this book stem from the application of an innovative methodology originally introduced by the Fondazione Rocco Chinnici, and they enlarge our understanding of such a complex and dynamic phenomenon. After the presentation of the approach, the chapters are devoted to the Camorra's present situation, to an estimate of the size of extortion, to a comparison between Cosa Nostra and Camorra, to the analysis of wiretapped conversations and, finally, to the delocalization of Mafias and the perspectives of a European anti-mafia policy. This book was originally published as a special issue of Global Crime.

This book examines the success of Frederick Schauer’s efforts to reclaim force as a core element of a general concept of law by approaching the issue from different legal traditions and distinct perspectives. In discussing Schauer’s main arguments, it contributes to answering the question whether force, sanctions and coercion should (or should not) be regarded as necessary elements of the concept of law, and whether legal philosophy should be concerned at all (or exclusively) with necessary or essential properties. While it was long assumed that legal norms are essentially defined by their force, it was H.L.A. Hart who raised doubts about whether law and coercion are necessarily connected, referring to the empowering, or more generally enabling, character exhibited by some legal norms. Prominent scholars following and refining Hart’s argument built an influential case for excluding force as a necessary element of the concept of law. Most recently, however, Frederick Schauer has made a strong case to reaffirm the force of law, shedding new light on this essential question. This book collects important commentaries, never before published, by prominent legal philosophers evaluating Schauer’s substantive arguments and his claims about jurisprudential methodology.

Popular histories of organized crime in the United States often look to the Mafia and the sons of early twentieth-century immigrants – such as Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, and Meyer Lansky – for their origins. In this second edition of Organized Crime and American Power, Michael Woodiwiss refocuses on US organized crime as an American problem. The book starts in 1789, with the birth of a new nation, intended to be run according to laws and conventions, with a written commitment to civil rights. Woodiwiss examines the organization of crime before the Civil War, which damaged or destroyed the lives of those excluded from constitutional protections: Indigenous peoples, Black people, and women. The book focuses on white supremacist crime and the pernicious influence of Southern leaders in alliance with opportunistic politicians. It examines the organized crimes of powerful business interests in alliance with politicians, as well as the corrupt consequences of the US moralistic campaigns against alcohol, gambling, drugs, and abortion. Organized Crime and American Power brings solid historical evidence and analysis to the task of refuting conventional wisdom that frames organized crime as something external to US political, economic, and social systems.
