[Rachel Brune · Rating 4 out of 5]

An excellent survey of the state of organized crime at the beginning of the 21st century. Each essay focuses on a particular geographic area, with the exception of the last two essays, which address the topics of the convergence of terrorism and criminality and cybercrime, respectively. Some interesting information here, and well-presented.
