How to Recognize the Mafia Abroad

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

The influence and spread of clans and families within the 'ndrangheta—the Calabrian mafia—is international, yet recognising their activities is not always easy, especially when considering mafia groups' apparent ability to 'disappear' when abroad. How to Recognize the Mafia Abroad challenges existing myths about the mobility of this mafia group, emphasising mafias' interconnectivity and ubiquity both at home and abroad, while providing practical tools for law enforcement and organised crime practitioners.

It considers potential biases around ethnicities and surnames and the intergenerational diversification of mafias, such as the use of encryption technologies. Combining theory with case studies drawn from Anna Sergi's extensive fieldwork, the book sets out the policy and practice implications for combating organised crime.
