Some additional resources on Gambetta and organized crime

This document may be useful to some of you, both as an overview of theories of organized crime and as an indication of some of the uses of these theories in law enforcement. It was prepared by researchers for the use of the Law Commission of Canada, and it has a very good bibliography.

For those of you interested in the ways that Diego Gambetta is applying his unique methodological perspective to other questions, you can get a nice taste from his article "Reason and Terror" published in the Boston Review in 2004. Like the book we are reading tries to uncover the rationality of Mafia organizations, this one explores the rationality of terrorism. Interesting, challenging and controversial!
