This book focuses on the Italian mafia organization, 'Ndrangheta, and its pervasive influence on the region of Calabria. While the majority of the criminal activity is committed by a small percentage of the population, the entire region suffers from the mafia presence. The goal of the book is to expose the inner workings of 'Ndrangheta to understand its power structure and methods, highlight the negative impact of 'Ndrangheta on the majority of innocent Calabrian citizens, and develop strategies to dismantle the organization by identifying and targeting its vulnerabilities. Ultimately, the book aims to provide a criminologically-grounded roadmap for effectively combating 'Ndrangheta and liberating Calabria from its grip.

This edited collection provides an in-depth account of the history of key developments in transnational criminal law. While the history of international criminal law is now a much written about topic, the origins of most modern transnational criminal laws are not well understood. Histories of Transnational Criminal Law provides for the first time a set of legal histories of state efforts to combat and cooperate against transnational crime. With contributions from a group of word-leading experts, this edited volume traverses a range of topics, beginning with the normative, intellectual, and institutional histories of transnational criminal law. It then moves to the histories of specific transnational crimes ranging across eras from piracy to cybercrime, and finishes by examining jurisdiction, modes of liability, different forms of procedural cooperation, and the predicament of the individual in transnational criminal law. The book highlights specific issues and how they have been resolved, in the loose assemblage of norms, institutions, and practices that constitutes transnational criminal law.
