Sussman Jeffrey: Sin City Gangsters

Sin City Gangsters

The Rise and Decline of the Mob in Las Vegas

Routledge Studies in Latin American and Iberian Literature

Corpse Encounters in Spanish and Latin American Narrative Fiction: Tantos muertos takes a historically and geographically broad view to argue for the central significance of corpses in modern and contemporary Spanish and Latin American narrative fiction.It offers critical readings of twenty novels and short stories from nine countries to show how modern and contemporary prose fiction addresses the human death crisis triggered by corpse encounters. It demonstrates that literary corpse encounters register histories of social violence that include both political repression and a current epidemic of organized criminality in Latin America. The corpse is shown to function in four primary ways: as an index of historical violence, as a figure of a social body rent by dissolutive forces, as a metaliterary figure of the narrative text itself, and as evidence of a necroecological sensibility shaped by post-Christian and posthumanist views of death.The book traces the rise of this necroecological sensibility and proposes that the autopsied corpse emerges as a prominent figure for the literary text itself, as authors liken writing and narration to post-autopsic stitching. Authors studied include Pío Baroja, Rafael Chirbes, Gabriel García Márquez, Manuel Puig and Cristina Rivera Garza.

Contributions to Finance and Accounting

Financial crime in the digital era has become more complex, sophisticated, and pervasive. With the increasing use of technology and digital platforms, criminals are exploiting new methods to commit fraud, money laundering, identity theft, and other financial crimes.&nbsp;Combating financial crime in the digital era requires a multifaceted approach involving technological innovations, regulatory measures, international collaboration, and the education of both consumers and financial institutions. As the landscape of financial crime evolves, the tools and strategies to combat it must adapt.This book highlights the idea that combating financial crime in the digital era is a complex task that requires the use of cutting-edge technology, effective regulations, and collaborative efforts among governments, financial institutions, and consumers. While the digital landscape provides opportunities for criminals to exploit new vulnerabilities, this book also offers tools that, if used effectively, can help detect, prevent, and disrupt financial crimes. The key to success lies in staying ahead of criminals by continuously evolving strategies, strengthening systems, and fostering international cooperation to protect the integrity of global financial systems.

Organized Crime

Palgrave Histories of Policing, Punishment and Justice

This book provides a comprehensive overview of police governance in England and Wales. This volume (I) starts from the Anglo Saxon period onwards. Volume II covers reform and development of tripartite governance from 1979-2025. These volumes analyse the key mechanisms and procedures that have sought to provide for the control and accountability of police organisations to external bodies and the means through which the conduct and work performed by police personnel is regulated internally. They discuss and evaluate the key debates and developments that have underpinned changes to police governance and the social, economic and political context within which these have emerged. They bring together a wide variety of material that relates to historical and contemporary aspects of policing. They draw upon primary (as well as secondary) source material including the use of historical documents for the early chapters. They speak to students taking courses in criminology and criminal justice studies and also those specialising in policing and to practitioners.

This book identifies an emerging Brazilian cultural criminology which combines Brazilian and Latin American critical criminology with the new avenues of investigation and methodologies that characterize cultural criminology more broadly. Bringing together various perspectives, it offers a new take on cultural criminology which demonstrates its international scope and innovative approaches to explore the specific problems of Brazil’s peripheral reality. It offers a window into past and present Brazil, discussing themes of colonialism, slavery, genocide, eugenics, police lethality, mass imprisonment, urban groups, Bolsonarism, youth gangs, mediated representation, and the pandemic.
The joint work of criminologists from Brazil constitutes a new facet of Brazilian critical criminology and a new facet of cultural criminology itself. Bound by their common political identity, these fields continue to develop and spiral together, challenging accepted notions of locality and reinventing academic and everyday forms of resistance in different arenas of the Global South and Global North. 
This book demonstrates that the reception and incorporation of methodologies and ideas from cultural criminology into Brazilian critical criminology do not reveal a simple reproduction, but rather that Brazilian criminologists continue to reinvent and contest, from the margins, the very cultural criminology of the Global North from which they were inspired to refine and expand the accumulated critical knowledge positioned against administrative criminology. 
The translation of this book was done with the help of artificial intelligence. A subsequent human revision was done for language and content.

From Periphery to Centre

Brazilian Cultural Criminology

The Badge Between Us is a raw, unfiltered account of policing that tracks the impact of secondary trauma and moral injury, infused by instances of organizational betrayal and police officer corruption. It is a first-person account of author Terrence P. Dwyer's final year as a New York State Police Investigator, with flashbacks from a 22-year career spent responding to and investigating violent crime and organized criminal gangs, and its impact upon him and his family. Through the lens of a final gang investigation and the subsequent quintuple murder of a young family, Dwyer delves into the workaday world of a homicide investigator.

The Badge Between Us

The FBI's high stakes capture of fugitive Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger at his hideout in Santa Monica, California, slammed shut a 16-year-long international odyssey to find one of the FBI's most wanted men. But it was not the end of the story.
In this firsthand account, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Richard Teahan, who commanded the Whitey Bulger Task Force, brings us face to face with Whitey during an epic six-hour transcontinental debrief on board a Justice Department jet as it returned Bulger to Boston. Teahan details the only interview Bulger ever granted to law enforcement, revealing his ruthless and often paranoid world view.
Chronicling his personal quest to confront Bulger, Teahan lifts the veil on the backbreaking, sometimes anguishing effort to bring one of America's most brutal organized crime bosses to justice.

'As much a history of the deeply crooked culture of Italian politics as it is a vivid biography of one man' SUNDAY TIMES 'Fascinating' SPECTATOR 'Vivid and disturbing but utterly compelling' DAILY MAIL Corruption, sleaze and violence were woven into the fabric of twentieth-century Sicilian life, as the Mafia rose to dominance. This is the story of one man who stood in opposition. In 1986, the largest Mafia trial in Italy's history took place in Sicily: 471 men and 4 women took the stand, accused of horrific crimes. Sitting in the gallery was Leonardo Sciascia. One of the greatest European writers of the twentieth century, he had published the first Mafia novel, The Day of the Owl, in 1961, and was widely seen by Italians as a true moral figure in a country where corruption had seeped into every corner of public and private life. Sciascia had come of age as the Mafia grew to prominence across Sicily. Witnessing the scale of corruption and violence, Sciascia predicted it would soon spread north, and he was right: by the 1980s, the Mafia had infiltrated every level of Italian politics and grown into an international, highly successful business. In A Sicilian Man, prize-winning historian and biographer Caroline Moorehead charts Sciascia's life against the rise of the Mafia, and lays out the thrilling and devastating struggle that ensued for Italy's soul. 'Magnificent and deeply affecting' PHILIP HENSHER 'Vivid and knowledgeable... This feels like the book [Moorehead] was destined to write' LUCY HUGHES-HALLETT

Contemporary Security Studies

This edited volume examines how political violence and coercion are central to state capture.Departing from accounts that largely emphasize economic influence, corruption, and institutional weakness, this volume demonstrates how armed force, intimidation, and repression can be decisive in enabling elites and armed actors to control state institutions. The book examines how, across different political and institutional settings, political and economic elites can work in alliance with armed actors-including militias, paramilitaries, and organized crime networks-to shape policy, extract resources, and undermine accountability. Through comparative case studies spanning the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, and southern Europe, the chapters show how, in fragile and vulnerable states, violence and corruption can become embedded in everyday governance. By systematically integrating political violence into the study of state capture, the book offers a timely framework that bridges political economy, security studies, and state-building debates.This book will be of great interest to students of political violence, corruption, state fragility, governance in contested spaces, and International Relations.

A STRONG WORDS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 'CHILLING AND THRILLING' JOHN BANVILLE 'IRRESISTIBLE STORYTELLING' THE TIMES On Tuesday morning, 23rd September 1975, the corpses of three unmarried siblings, last surviving members of the ancient Luxton clan of Winkleigh, North Devon, were found on their remote farm. All three had had their heads blown off. Robbie's cheeks and neck had been stabbed; Frances had a broken leg. Strangely, each of the four doors to the house had been locked from the inside. The Luxtons' idyllic farm on a stretch of lush countryside between Exmoor and Dartmoor had been lovingly tended with outdated methods. There were rumours of a thwarted betrothal, wrangles over money and property, generational feuds in the extended family, bouts of insanity and extreme miserliness. John Cornwell's classic investigation into the violent deaths of these unhappy siblings told a story of a farming family struggling under unbearable practical and emotional pressures, their violent deaths, the police investigation and the proceedings of the inquest. The official verdict was that there had been a suicide pact, but Cornwell decided to revisit the evidence forty years after Earth to Earth was first published, and he finds that there were anomalies in the evidence suggesting alternative, criminal scenarios, and the misery that preceded these savage deaths suggested even darker elements. Were the Luxtons scapegoats of local malice, or victims of a murderous family conflict, stricken by a dire ancestral curse? This new edition of a true crime classic includes a postscript in which the author describes the extraordinary lengths that the great poet Ted Hughes, a neighbour of the Luxtons, went to try and suppress publication of the book.

Earth to Earth

'A brilliant and challenging book' GORDON BROWNFrom the founder of Britain's leading antifascist organisation, HOPE not hate, this is an urgent call to resist the forces of extremism on the march in Western societies - and how to go about it.If you're shocked and disconcerted by the rise of intolerance and hate, you're not alone.Drawing from 35 years of campaigning and journalism, Nick Lowles shows how anti-immigration, antisemitic and Islamophobic attacks have proliferated in the modern world, and how Britain - with the likes of Tommy Robinson and the growth of Reform UK - has been far from immune from far-right politics.From HOPE not hate's pioneering campaigns against the BNP in east London to the impact of the 'manosphere' and the issues in Netflix's Adolescence; from explorations of the pernicious influence of 'race science' and conspiracy theory to the interplay of deprivation and intolerance in Britain's deindustrialised towns, Lowles entwines his inspirational story with hard-won lessons from decades of activism.His conclusions - which do not shy away from awkward truths for campaigners - suggest practical ways for the far right to be defeated. And he shares powerful examples - from a participant-led youth club in Hull to Syrian refugees connecting with local people over falafel in Bradford - of finding the joy in showing that, hard as it can seem, HOPE can triumph over hate.
