Author Description

This book is a policy-oriented report-style publication, within a criminological framework and stemming out of an academic research, on seaports and organised crime. It is the first of its kind, as research in ports and organised crime oriented to policy and practice is, to date, scarce. * Fresh primary data collected by the author in five different seaports (Genova, Melbourne, Montreal, New York and Liverpool) will offer a state-of-the-art outlook to the presence of organised crime in maritime ports.* A policy and practice-oriented text that will offer an approachable report on topics of organised crime, corruption and ports. *An easy-to-read text to consult that provides case studies and in-depth analysis of manifestations of organised crime in ports.
