ORGANIZED CRIME – JAY ALBANESE

Organized Crime: From the Mob to Transnational Organized Crime, Seventh Edition, provides readers with a clear understanding of organized crime, including its definition and causes, how it is categorized under the law, models to explain its persistence, and the criminal‑justice response to organized crime, including investigation, prosecution, defense, and sentencing.

Chapters are enhanced by updated photos, tables, charts, and critical‑thinking exercises that help students apply concepts to actual organized‑crime cases.
