{"product_id":"crime-networks-and-power-vincenzo-scalia-9783319462356","title":"Crime, Networks and Power: Transformation of Sicilian Cosa Nostra","description":"This book develops the idea that the Cosa Nostra Sicilian mafia likes and, more than any other criminal organization, follows the patterns of capitalist transformation. The author presents analysis of the mafia under post-fordism capitalism, showing how they rely on increasingly more flexible networks for reasons of both cost and dodging police control, as well as changing their core businesses in relation to the risk that some activities, such as drug trafficking, are likely to incur.\u003cbr\u003eCombining sociology, criminology and labour sociology, the book provides an interpretation of Cosa Nostra which focuses on the connection between legal and illegal economies and politics, thus doing away with the idea that organized crime is always an external entity to society. An authoritative and original study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars of criminal justice, politics and economics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vincenzo Scalia\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319462350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319462356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d","brand":"Vincenzo Scalia","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073587638527,"sku":"9783319462356","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bdefc21f-57db-4ada-9c5f-0913d38b75b7.jpg?v=1685448706","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crime-networks-and-power-vincenzo-scalia-9783319462356","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
