The International Library of Criminology, Criminal Justice and Penology- Russian and Post-Soviet Organized Crime

Diverse perspectives including comparative, structural and ethnic frameworks, ensure a balanced treatment of a pervasive element of modern Russia.



A timely look at a widespread yet largely uninvestigated area of Russian life. Chapters include: consideration of the history and basis in culture for the organization of crime in Russia; the actions of émigrés to the USA; and the development of modern sophistications of exchange and networking that currently blight privatization. Diverse perspectives, including comparative, structural and ethnic frameworks, give unprecedented national and international insights into a pervasive element of modern Russia.
