Organiseret kriminalitet

Moderne grænseoverskridende organiseret kriminalitet er en global industri i konstant udvikling og forandring. Opportunistisk af natur spreder den organiserede kriminalitet sig løbende til nye markeder og nye former for kriminalitet, der udspringer af den almindelige samfunds- og teknologiske udvikling. Fænomenet omfatter i dag stort set alle profitmotiverede kriminelle handlinger af international karakter. Herved udgør transnational organiseret kriminalitet både en direkte trussel mod almindelige menneskers sikkerhed, liv og helbred på tværs af landegrænser og kontinenter samt en destabiliserende faktor i mange lande ved at underminere statslige institutioner, true den økonomiske stabilitet og bidrage til øget korruption.Transnational organiseret kriminalitet er opdelt i to dele. Den første del analyserer, med et strafferetligt udgangspunkt og inspiration fra retsvidenskabelig metode, det teoretiske begreb transnational organiseret kriminalitet. Bogen behandler videre udvalgte emner relateret hertil. Anden del giver et indblik i, hvordan transnational organiseret kriminalitet bliver begået i en moderne globaliseret verden. Denne del redegør for og beskriver, hvordan kriminelle aktører opererer på tværs af landegrænser, samt hvilke metoder og virkemidler de kriminelle netværk benytter sig af indenfor følgende udvalgte kriminalitetsområder: international narkokriminalitet, transnational illegal våbenhandel og grænseoverskridende hvidvask.Matias Røjle Bruun er uddannet advokat og jurist fra Københavns Universitet samt BSc i International Relations fra London School of Economics. Han har i en årrække været tilknyttet Københavns og Grønlands universiteter som underviser i bl.a. strafferet og har tidligere udgivet en lærebog om grønlandsk kriminalret.

It has been said that every man's life contains sufficient material for a book. Some stories are more compelling than others and few can match the outrageous tales provided by the central character in Nobody's Boy, the notorious Ralph Harris.For some, the lead character's moral code may be hard to swallow, but that doesn't alter the fact that his life produced sufficient material to justify being recorded within these pages.This is a story about a man who defied the law, not so much for greed as was the case for many of his money-hungry associates, but for the steady infusion of adrenaline that raced through his veins.Rather than align himself with an established criminal organization, he chose to navigate his own courseNo one thought to abuse Ralph's loyalty or threaten those he held dear. To do so would be at their own peril. He was a man respected by his peers and in some cases, feared. For those who were slow to accept his ways, they would eventually realize, nothing would stand between him and his intended goal.With a treasure trove of material gleaned from court documents and, most vital to the story, personal interviews with Harris shortly before his death, family members and scores of police officers, bikers, drug runners and others who shared Ralph's flamboyant life. Daryl Ashby has penned a book that exposes an underworld hereto undiscovered on Vancouver Island.

This book focuses on the enforcement aspect of tobacco control policy, and argues that the intense regulation of the tobacco market will never be successful as long as it can be circumvented by the availability of illicit tobacco products. Yet, current efforts to combat illicit tobacco trade are insufficient, suffering from several flaws and gaps at the regulatory and operational levels. The aim of this book is to provide an analysis of the legal framework and practice of enforcement with regard to illicit tobacco products. Combining criminological and legal perspectives, it presents and critically analyses the phenomenon of illicit tobacco trade, as well as the policies, legal frameworks and practices in six EU countries with regard to combatting this phenomenon, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of their approaches. Furthermore, it studies the relationship between the EU and third countries (e.g. Ukraine) in terms of how the EU can influence policy and enforcement in these countries in order to counter illicit tobacco trafficking. Not exclusively focusing on the EU, the book also includes an analysis of enforcement against illicit tobacco products in the US. The EU Member States analysed in the book (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Latvia, the Netherlands and Poland) reflect the range of currently available approaches. Some of them have ratified the WHO Protocol against tobacco smuggling; others have not. They belong to different legal traditions and face different challenges due to their respective border situations. While Belgium and the Netherlands are key entry ports to the EU, Poland and Latvia represent the Eastern land border of the EU, with various regional challenges. Italy has a long maritime border, where trafficking is possible from Northern Africa and from the Middle East. It also has significant experience in fighting organised crime. Lastly, Germany is the largest market in Europeand situated in the middle of these trafficking routes.

Hvornår og hvordan er den napolitanske camorra opstået? Hvorfor har alle forsøg på at bryde dens okkulte magt været forgæves? Marc Monniers bog er et unikt dokument, som sætter camorraen ind i en bredere historisk og social sammenhæng og derved baner vej for en dybere forståelse af denne kriminelle organisation, der i dag truer civilsamfund også uden for Italien.

Patrick Radden Keefe's work has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award in the US to the Orwell Prize in the UK for his meticulously reported, hypnotically engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from the New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface: 'They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.'Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black-market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death-penalty attorney who represents the 'worst of the worst', among other bravura works of literary journalism.The appearance of his byline in the New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.

Sons of Anarchy meets The Departed in this fast-paced, high-wire act memoir from former ATF agent Ken Croke, the first federal agent in history to go undercover and successfully infiltrate the infamous?and infamously violent?Pagan Motorcycle Club, a white supremacist biker gang. Longtime ATF agent Ken Croke had earned the right to coast to the end of a storied career, having routinely gone undercover to apprehend white supremacists, gun runners, and gang members. But after a chance encounter with an associate of the Pagan Motorcycle Gang created an opening, he transformed himself into ?Slam,? a monstrous, axe-handle wielding enforcer whose duty was to protect the leadership ?mother club? at all costs. He befriended the club's most violent and criminally insane members and lived among them for two years, covertly building a case that would eventually take down the top members of the gang in a massive federal prosecution, even as he risked his marriage, his sanity, and his life. With today's law enforcement largely moving toward the comparative safety of cyber operations, it became one of the last of its kind, a masterclass in old school tactics that marked Croke as a dying breed of undercover agent and became legendary in law enforcement.Now for the first time, Croke tells the story of his terrifying undercover life in the Pagans?the unspeakable violence, extremism, drugs, and disgusting rituals. Written with bestselling crime writer Dave Wedge and utilizing the exclusive cooperation of those who lived the case with him, as well as thousands of pages of court files and hours of surveillance tapes and photos, Croke delivers a frightening, nail-biting account of the secretive and brutal biker underworld.

"In this unprecedented deep dive into inner-city gang life, Mark Bowden takes readers inside a Baltimore gang, offers an in-depth portrait of its notorious leader, and chronicles the 2016 FBI investigation that landed eight of its members in prison. Sandtown is one of the deadliest neighborhoods in the world; it earned Baltimore its nickname "Bodymore, Murderland," and was made notorious by David Simon's classic HBO series The Wire. Drug deals dominate street corners, and ruthless, casual violence abounds. Montana Barronette grew up in the center of it all. He was the leader of the gang "Trained to Go," or TTG, and when he was finally arrested and sentenced to life in prison, he had been labeled "Baltimore's Number One Trigger Puller." Under Tana's reign, TTG dominated Sandtown. After a string of murders are linked to TTG, each with dozens of witnesses too intimidated to testify, three detectives set out to put Tana in prison for life. For them, this was never about drugs: it was about serial murder. An acclaimed journalist who spent his youth in the white suburbs of Baltimore, Mark Bowden returns to the city with exclusive access to key FBI files and unprecedented insight into one of the city's deadliest gangs and its notorious leader. As he traces the rise and fall of TTG, Bowden uses wiretapped drug buys, police interviews, undercover videos, text messages, social media posts, trial transcripts, and his own ongoing conversations with Tana's family and community to create the most in-depth account of an inner-city gang ever written. With his signature precision and propulsive narrative, Mark Bowden positions Tana-as a boy, a gang leader, a killer, and now a prisoner-in the context of Baltimore and America, illuminating his path for what it really was: a life sentence"--
