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that stand which places it in the same category as the United States of America whose last 10-year old definition was repealed in 1979.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.

In recent years, in the context of the War on Terror and globalization, there has been an increased interest in terrorism and organized crime in academia, yet historical research into such phenomena is relatively scarce. This book resets the balance and emphasizes the importance of historical research to understanding terrorism and organized crime. This book explores historical accounts of organized crime and terrorism, drawing on research from around the world in such areas as the USA, UK, Ireland, France, Colombia, Somalia, Burma, Turkey and Trinidad and Tobago. Combining key case studies with fresh conceptualizations of organized crime and terrorism, this book reinvigorates scholarship by comparing and contrasting different historical accounts and considering their overlaps. Critical ‘lessons learned’ are drawn out from each chapter, providing valuable insights for current policy, practice and scholarship. This book is an indispensable guide for understanding the wider history of terrorism and organized crime. It maps key historical changes and trends in this area and underlines the vital importance of history in understanding critical contemporary issues. Taking an interdisciplinary approach and written by leading criminologists, historians and political scientists, this book will be of particular interest to students of terrorism/counter-terrorism, organized crime, drug policy, criminology, security studies, politics, international relations, sociology and history.

While the success of national and international law enforcement cooperation to suppress organized crime means that stable, large-scale criminal organizations like the Cosa Nostra or the Japanese Yakuza have seen their power reduced, organized crime remains a concern for many governments. Economic globalization and the easing of restrictions on exchanges across borders now provide ample opportunity for money-making activities in illegal markets. Policies designed to stop illegal market flows often shift these activities to new places or create new problems, as the U.S.- led war on drugs spread production and trafficking to a number South and Central American countries. The Oxford Handbook of Organized Crime provides informed, authoritative, and comprehensive overviews of these issues and other principal forms of organized crime, as well as the type and effectiveness of efforts to prevent and control them. Leading scholars from criminology, law, sociology, history, and political science discuss the key concepts, history, and methods of organized crime; the major actors and interactions involved in it; the markets and activities frequently associated with organized crime; and the policies designed to combat it. Individual chapters on criminal organizations and specific activities or markets comprise the heart of the volume. The chapters on actors provide the history, analyze the structure and activities, and assess the strength and future prospects of each organization. Articles on particular markets address the patterns of activity, identify the most affected regions, and where possible provide estimated revenues, discuss factors promoting the activity, and disclose information on the victims and harms caused. The Oxford Handbook of Organized Crime delivers a systematic, high-quality, and truly global approach to the topic and with it a more complete understanding of organized crime in its many forms for researchers, government officials, and policymakers.

This is designed to be an introductory text serving several purposes in the field of criminal justice. First, it gives the reader an understanding of the concept of organized crime-what it is and what it is not-and the necessary historical foundation for understanding the evolution, development, and current status of organized crime. Most important, the book is designed to dispel the myth that organized crime is composed exclusively of Italian American criminal groups. Another important component of the book is that drug trafficking plays an important role in the continuing proliferation of organized crime groups. The existence of the illegal drug trade says much about both the groups that traffic in illicit drugs and the members of society who use these drugs, consequently lending support to organized criminals. Finally, terrorism has dominated public policy since September 11, 2001. With increasing global awareness of terrorist organizations and those who belong to them, traditional models of terrorism have been challenged because the structure, financing, and recruiting mechanisms of such organizations are becoming more and more like their criminal counterparts in conventional organized crime. Logically organized and highly readable, the text promotes learning with extensive pedagogical features, from critical thinking projects to suggested readings.
