Reviews
“In this superb collection, Kuldova and Sanchez-Jankowski have recruited a number of researchers whose finely detailed empirical work and sophisticated theoretical work help the criminological research field to rethink the assumptions on which rest the core concepts of ‘deviance’ and ‘integration’. Essential reading for all those who wish to move the social sciences forward.” (Steve Hall, Emeritus Professor of Criminology, Teesside University, UK)
“A richanalysis of contemporary organized crime that will be of interest to the wide popular and scholarly audience.” (Kristin Bergtora Sandvik, University of Oslo, Norway)
