Fighting organised crime and mafia-type firms : the role of public administrations

Includes bibliographical references (p. 121-130).

This book provides an overview of main and updated academic and institutional definitions about crime organisations (macro-level) and mafia-type firms (micro-level), and the different theoretical perspectives through which these organisations and firms can be investigated. It combines studies focused on the economic, legal and social implications, with those based on a managerial perspective. Therefore, it offers insights about organisational characteristics, measurement methods, practices to fight the phenomenon, investigating the role of states and public-sector entities.
