Organized Crime

Catalog description

This course is designed to give an overview of issues associated with Organized Crime. Organized Crime is an increasingly global phenomenon, and as such the class focuses not only on the situation in the United States, but the rest of the world as well. Attention is also given to the 'businesses' of organized crime (e.g., drug trafficking, counterfeiting), the law enforcement responses to Organized Crime, and the role/depiction of Organized Crime in popular culture.
