| About this site |
|
This website presents information on organized crime from a social science perspective with a special geographical focus on the U.S. and Germany. The site was first launched in 1999. The original purpose had been to share with a broader public some of the material collected for a doctoral dissertation on the concept and theory of organized crime in the U.S. The material includes, for example, a collection of organized crime definitions which has been considerably expanded over the years. A number of papers on organized-crime related subjects, including cigarette smuggling, have also consecutively been added and are available for downloading. A more recent addition is the book-review section which features reviews of books on organized crime and related topics. This site is bilingual (English and German). Some content, however, is available only in one of these two languages. The material presented on this website may be used for academic, journalistic and official purposes in accordance with the applicable copyright laws.
