Organised crime is a highly abused term. It is described as a chameleonic kind of crime that epitomises and adapts to the criminal environment of each country. Furthermore, it flourishes where corruption is tolerated. In order to discourage corruption, leaders such as Presidents Mandela, Mbeki, Motlanthe, Zuma and Patil as well as clergymen such as Bishops Tutu, Ndungane, Makgoba and Lekganyane have publicly condemned this enabling crime.Many a crime that appear to be unacceptable are condemned by tagging them with the label 'organised crime'. Such obsession of labelling every serious crime as organised crime is unhelpful when the public prosecutors are unable to draft a charge sheet for violations of organised crime law for want of legal requirements. In this book, the history, theories, definitions, laws such as the RICO, POCA and EOCCA, how organised crime is manifested, and the responses from the Republic of Italy, the Democratic Republic of Tanzania, the United States of America and the Republic of South Africa have been assessed and analysed. Italy has been chosen because of the origin of mafia, a well-known organised criminal group while the United States of America was chosen for its efforts in responding to the phenomenon. Tanzania is chosen as the only country in the region that has legislatively defined organised crime while South Africa is the main focal country whose system the book intends to positively influence.While definitional debates on organised crime are known to be tedious, they remain critical in order to have a common definitional understanding of the phenomenon. The existence of the plethora of definitions of organised crime illustrates the current distorted understanding of the phenomenon - which ultimately renders the task of policing it a nearly impossible mission. Although organised crime remains undefined in laws of the Republic of South Africa and United States of America, lessons can be learnt from Tanzania and Italy. South African law makers pronounced a need to define the term organised crime more specifically but it has since abandoned that stand which places it in the same category as the United States of America whose last 10-year old definition was repealed in 1979. Organised crime is an intangible crime that is not easily identifiable. It is a crime that facades between serial incidents and groups of criminals. To be able to identify organised crime, a definition needs to be designed and applied. Regrettably, the United Nations has, in its search for a definition, failed to define the phenomenon. It managed to define organised criminal group, which left many experts confused with a belief that organised crime has been defined. In an attempt to contribute to the understanding and application, the book advance a proposed definition for South Africa. A process that can be used to identify the phenomenon at various levels in any country is also tabled for possible adaptation and application. The conclusion is that there is a need to find a definition of what we mean by organised crime.

Through analysis of data held by the National Crime Agency on organised crime groups, and in-depth analysis of qualitative interviews with convicted fraudsters and enforcement professionals, this detailed study fills a significant gap in the contemporary literature on organised crime groups involved in fraud. Throughout the chapters, the perspective of convicted offenders and those involved in its policing are juxtaposed to show the ease of committing fraud from the perspective of offenders on the one hand, and the investigative challenges experienced by law enforcement officers on the other. May and Bhardwa’s insights shed light on offender motivations, routes into fraud and organised crime, and the nature and shape of organised crime groups and their operations. Alongside the offender perspective the law enforcement interviews provide a unique interpretation of the procedural and legislative weaknesses that appear to allow this type of offender to make considerable financial gain. The key recommendations based on empirical findings will greatly benefit those interested in understanding the links between fraud and organised crime in the UK and those seeking to improve enforcement efforts.

Organized crime is now a major threat to all industrial and non-industrial countries. Using an inter-disciplinary and comparative approach this book examines the nature of this threat. By analysing the existing, official institutional discourse on organized crime it examines whether or not it has an impact on perceptions of the threat and on the reality of organized crime. The book first part of the book explores both the paradigm and the rationale of policy output in the fight against organized crime, and also exposes the often ‘hidden’ internal assumptions embedded in policy making. The second part examines the perceptions of organized crime as expressed by various actors, for example, the general public in the Balkans and in Japan, the criminal justice system in USA and circles within the international scientific community. Finally, the third part provides an overall investigation into the realities of organized crime with chapters that survey its empirical manifestations in various parts of the world. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, criminology, security studies and practitioners.

This volume provides insights on how recruitment patterns develop for two related types of criminal networks: organized crime and terrorism. It specifically explores the social, situational, psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. Although organized crime networks and terrorism networks can differ in underlying goals and motivations, this volume demonstrates common drivers in their recruitment, which will provide insights for crime prevention and intervention. The goal of the book is to explore the current knowledge about these common drivers, as well as highlight emerging research, to identify and prioritize a research agenda for scholars, as well as policymakers. The research presented in this work aims to fill existing gaps in the knowledge of recruitment to both organized crime and terrorism. For each area, it provides a systematic review of the existing research on social, psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. It then presents findings from independent original research aimed to explore new ground not covered in these previous studies. The contributions to this volume were the result of a research project funded by a European Union Horizon 2020 grant, and present a diverse, international mix of expertise and cases. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, psychology, and international relations.
