Recent publications on organized crime: the year 2020

Abstract

This is a list of over 300 English-language publications on organized crime and related topics from the year 2020. Books are included by copyright date. Journal articles are not included by the date they are posted online first, but by the year of the issue or volume once they are formally published. Pertinent publications were identified through searches in various databases, including Google Scholar and Google Books, using search terms including “organized crime,” “criminal network,” “mafia,” “trafficking,” and “smuggling.” Authors and publishers also provided information. The aim was to list publications that reflect the multi-facetted nature of the study of organized crime, understood broadly to encompass the study of the organization crimes, the study of the organization of criminals, and the study of the organization of social spheres by criminals for criminal purposes. All articles from volume 23 of Trends in Organized Crime were included without a separate examination of their thematic scope.
