- This 80k word book is the product of 5-year fieldwork carried out in Australia, Italy, USA and United Kingdom between criminology and socio-legal studies. It draws on: case law in four countries; critical analysis of law and policy concerning organised crime and mafias in four countries; a critical outlook to policy and practice to counter organised crime within international frameworks. The main empirical component involved accessing 'hard to reach' groups - mainly in high-security law enforcement units. The book is built on comparative research methodology and analysis that included two different levels of content and thematic analysis.
