Organized Crime In Seaports: How Seaports Can Act As Facilitators For Criminal Networks

This book is a policy-oriented report-style publication on seaports and organized crime, written within a criminological framework and based on academic research. It is the first of its sort, as policy-relevant research on ports and organized crime has been scarce to date.

• Fresh primary data collected by the author in five different seaports (Genova, Melbourne, Montreal, New York and Liverpool) will offer a state-of-the-art outlook to the presence of organized crime in maritime ports.

• A policy and practice-oriented text that will offer an approachable report on topics of organized crime, corruption and ports.

•An easy-to-read text to consult that provides case studies and in-depth analysis of manifestations of organized crime in ports.
