Organized crime is a multifaceted phenomenon shaped by a complex interplay of factors and discourses, including politics of law and order, international insecurity, vested interests, and priorities of scholars, politicians, government officials, and policing authorities. This book aims to challenge existing assumptions and understandings of organized crime and explore how it is amplified and reconstructed for political purposes.

The constitution of the organized crime problem in academic and political discourse creates the conditions for the development of an extensive and international architecture of law, policing, surveillance, and intelligence. This book examines emerging challenges and future directions, such as the impact of technology on new problems, transnational policing, and electronic communications protected with strong encryption.

This book offers an integrated and comprehensive study of both the politicization and policing of organized crime, questioning the outcomes for society at large. Drawing on international fieldwork and interviews with senior national and supranational policing personnel, the book compares and contrasts various narratives on organized crime and will be of interest to students and researchers engaged in studies of criminology, criminal justice, organized crime, policing, and law.
