Recent Publications on Organized Crime: the year 2021

This is a list of over 250 English-language publications on organized crime and related topics from the year 2021. 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 they appear in. Pertinent publications were identified through searches in various databases, including Google Scholar and Google Books , using various search terms, namely “organized crime,” “criminal network,” “mafia,” “trafficking,” and “smuggling.” Authors and publishers also provided information. The aim is to list publications that reflect the multi-facetted nature of the study of organized crime, understood broadly to encompass the study of the organization of 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 24 of Trends in Organized Crime are included without a separate examination of their thematic scope.
