Rezension

`
The delicate balance of legitimacy in the staging and confronting of organized crime in modern society is deftly portrayed... the reader enjoys a concise and valuable perspective.
'




Jess Maghan, Director, Office of International Criminal Justice,

University of Illinois at Chicago




`
Other scholars have touched on the economic aspects of organized crime, yet none so comprehensively as does
The Upperworld and the

Underworld
. This book is an excellent, nay, essential resource for those who study organized crime and/or want to learn about its effects on the global economy.
'




Patrick J. Ryan, Associate Professor, Emeritus, Long Island

University; Past President, International Association for the Study of

Organized Crime (IASOC)
