Gottschalk (management, Norwegian School of Management) analyzes organized crime from a theoretical perspective in this volume, noting that criminal activities have expanded on an international basis over the last few years due to globalization and new communication technologies. Written for students and scholars of criminal justice, this book explores how criminal entrepreneurship requires some sort of official corruption to expand. The author outlines how these criminal enterprises are started, organized, managed and grown, and suggests the most effective strategies for enforcing laws against these so-called "businesses."
