Jason D Camilleri (EDT) Organized Crime

Annotation

Organized crime threatens multiple facets of the United States, including the economy and national security. In fact, the Organized Crime Council was reconvened for the first time in fifteen years to address this continued threat. Organized crime has taken on an increasingly transnational nature, and with more open borders and the expansion of the Internet, criminals endanger the United States not only from within the borders, but beyond. This new book examines issues for Congress concerning whether the resources the federal government allocated to organized crime matters are adequate and appropriately allocated to counter the threats organized crime poses.
