Gangland Today Summary

Gangland Today by James Morton

Organized crime is flourishing all over the world today - in Britain it has become apparent that not only are there new "old-fashioned" gangs such as the Adams family, but that there has been another wave of police corruption, this time with the stakes fuelled by drug importation. This book looks at crime here and in other countries - Spain, America, Canada, Africa and Asia - covering areas such as drug crime, art theft, kidnapping, organized prostitution, the internet and money laundering.

Gangland Today Reviews

A frightening survey of world-wide organised crime that shows how the drugs business, new technology and ease of travel have led to international links being forged between ruthless gangs fighting for shares in a mega billion dollar 'industry'. In this country the old-style working class gangsters have largely been replaced by young and often ethnic groups that make up many of the estimated 900-plus organised crime groups in Britain. In a lively narrative, Morton names all the major players not only in America and the UK but also in France and Israel, giving details of their involvement in robberies, prostitution, people smuggling and the ever-lucrative drugs trade. He also points out that governments have much to do in combating police corruption, the increased use of firearms, and money laundering.
