It will be a source of debate and inspiration for those in law enforcement and academia in this area. It makes a contribution to intelligence-led and knowledge-based policing, an emerging area of interest that builds upon and enhances policing as knowledge work, police officers as knowledge workers, and police forces as knowledge organizations.

This book offers to practitioners and academics alike a new thinking on understanding the business operation of organized crime, to better to be able to detect and disrupt organized criminal enterprises.
