Police, Politics, and Cocaine

Palgrave Advances in Criminology and Criminal Justice in Asia

This book introduces a theoretical framework for considering young people's involvement in gangs and organised crime. This framework - a 'lens of labour' proposes a new way of considering young people and their relationship with crime. The labour lens moves away from the problematic and arguably stigmatising 'victim: offender' dichotomy that permeates understandings of juvenile offending (Fionda, 2005) and instead positions labour and the need for young people to work at the centre of criminological discourse.

Millions of the world’s children engage in labour, often exploitative and essential to their survival (UNICEF 2021). However, labour – as a driving factor for young people’s involvement in organized crime remains marginalized in the Criminology discourse. This book estalishes a labour lens, discussing the need for young people to work, earn an income and assist their survival on the streets, embedded within wider structures of illicit markets, established organised crime and state. It draws on data from three studies conducted in Bangladesh, China and Nepal which explore the landscape of gangs and organised crime and the specific involvement of vulnerable children in these criminal enterprises. It considers economic drivers, alongside the moral economy within the context of ecological framework of crime, embedded with wider issues of coloniality. In doing so the book develops a new theory conceptual framework for considering young people’s involvement in organised crime. It helps to refine conceptualisations of gangs and the involvement of children in criminal entities, opening up discussions and critiques of universalised assertations largely derived from the global North. It also discusses implications for research, policy and practice.

Re-thinking Gangs and Organised Crime in a Pan-Asian Context

Theorising a Lens of Labour

From white-collar crime to cold-blooded murder-the global fraud industry has evolved into a brutal underworld. In this deeply investigated narrative that reads like a fast-paced thriller, Kanayo Ogwu pulls back the curtain on a $5 trillion empire. The days of the clever, witty con artist are over.

Ogwu maps the real-world syndicates and powerful individuals driving these networks and proposes solutions to curb this global crisis. He fuses hard-hitting facts with strategically created composite characters. This choice fully protects the safety of real-life victims while driving a relentless, heart-pounding pace. Discover the terrifying reality hiding behind your screen.

The Untold Story of Brutality, Butchery, Bloodshed, and Murder Inside the $5 Trillion Global Fraud Economy

Butcher's Dollar

Crónica del surgimiento, desarrollo y transformaciones del Cártel de las drogas más peligroso de México. El cártel de Sinaloa explica y detalla el mundo del narco: desde los pioneros del negocio como Pedro Avilés, los sicarios desalmados que matan gobernadores como el Gitano, policías corruptos al estilo Guillermo González Calderoni, hasta hechos sorprendentes como la expulsión masiva de chinos durante la segunda década del siglo XX, las primeras rutas trasnacionales de la cocaína, o la fuga de Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán. Aquí todos cuentan su versión sobre el lucrativo tráfico de drogas en Sinaloa, que es la historia misma del narcotráfico en México. Este libro da voz al hijo de un narcotraficante que relata cómo es vivir con ese estigma; también aparece un abogado de la mafia que abre puertas de tribunales y prisiones de máxima seguridad; soldados oaxaqueños que erradican cultivos de mariguana en la sierra de Badiraguato; un comandante guerrillero del ERPI en Guerrero, o un político y empresario millonario de San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. Todos ellos son piezas clave en el mundo del narco y aquí ofrecen testimonios reveladores. La PGR, la DEA y el Ejército mexicano lo hacen a través de expedientes oficiales, algunos publicados por primera vez en este libro. Se da a conocer asimismo la versión directa de capos como Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, el Jefe de Jefes, cuyos escritos de puño y letra acusan a las autoridades de ser las auténticas responsables de crear y organizar la distribución de los llamados cárteles. Diego Enrique Osorno, a través de una ágil narración periodística, nos ofrece el más completo panorama del cártel fundacional del narcotráfico y uno de los más poderosos que han existido en México. ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONA chronicle of the rise, development, and transformations of Mexico's most dangerous drug cartel. The Sinaloa Cartel explains and details the world of drug trafficking: from the pioneers of the business such as Pedro Avilés, the ruthless sicarios who kill governors like "El Gitano," corrupt police officers in the style of Guillermo González Calderoni, to surprising events such as the mass expulsion of Chinese immigrants during the second decade of the twentieth century, the first transnational cocaine routes, and the escape of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. Here, everyone tells their version of the lucrative drug trade in Sinaloa, which is the very history of drug trafficking in Mexico. This book gives voice to the son of a drug trafficker who recounts what it is like to live with that stigma; it also features a mafia lawyer who opens doors in courtrooms and maximum-security prisons; Oaxacan soldiers who eradicate marijuana crops in the mountains of Badiraguato; a guerrilla commander from the ERPI in Guerrero; and a wealthy politician and businessman from San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León. All of them are key players in the world of narcotrafficking, and here they offer revealing testimonies. The PGR, the DEA, and the Mexican Army also speak through official files, some published for the first time in this book. The direct version of kingpins such as Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the "Boss of Bosses," is also made known-his handwritten accounts accuse the authorities of being the true architects behind the creation and organization of the so-called cartels. Through agile journalistic narration, Diego Enrique Osorno offers the most complete overview of the foundational cartel of Mexican drug trafficking and one of the most powerful to ever exist in Mexico.

El Cártel de Sinaloa / The Sinaloa Cartel

Volume 2 of Gang Networks and the Evolving Security Threat Landscape expands on Volume 1 by thoroughly examining the complexities of the gang nexus. It relativizes the gang threat multiplier effect across three prevailing connections. One is inter-gang relations, where the diffusion of violence is driven by competitive pressures among allies and rivals. Another, through direct connections, ad hoc networks, and geodesic paths, connect gangs to terrorist groups, contributing to gang hybrids. Finally, fusion regimes have merged illicit channels with the security apparatus. In particular, gangs have infiltrated law enforcement, the military, and the political class. Together, these gang connections represent unique challenges for law enforcement and contribute to Institutional degradation, both of which undermine the structural integrity of the state.
This volume emphasizes social network analysis as a methodological approach to better understanding the structural system of gang connections. Moreover, it highlights the evolving threat posed by gang networks and their security implications. For researchers, students, and law enforcement professionals, this book offers a critical resource that combines theoretical insights with practical analysis. It provides a thorough exploration of how gang networks operate, their connections to other criminal entities, and their broader societal impact. This makes it an essential read for those studying criminal justice, homeland security, international studies, and related fields.

An Analysis of Inter-Gang Relations, Hybrid Gangs, and Fusion Regimes

Gang Networks and the Evolving Security Threat Landscape, Vol. 2

In May 2017, four men from four countries gathered at a wedding in a sail-shaped hotel on an artificial island off the coast of Dubai. An Irishman, a Dutch-Moroccan, an Italian, and a Bosnian. Between them, they controlled roughly one-third of Europe's cocaine trade. The DEA was watching from outside.
CARTEL KINGS is the definitive account of the super cartel, the most sophisticated international cocaine network ever assembled, built in the gaps between national borders, encrypted phone networks, and a Gulf sanctuary that no treaty could reach. From a 1986 heroin bust in a Dublin apartment to a 2026 arrest in a Dubai detention facility, investigative journalist DJ Sikorski traces two intertwined stories: the rise of Christy Kinahan and his sons into a billion-euro empire with a professional boxing operation as its public face, and the global infrastructure that made it run, the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam, the 'Ndrangheta, the cracked encrypted networks, and the Marengo trial that killed three people before it convicted anyone.
Reconstructed entirely from the public record, court documents, sanctions filings, grand jury transcripts, and contemporaneous reporting, this is a story about what the most expensive law enforcement effort in history can and cannot do. Three life sentences. A private island seized. Two stolen Van Goghs recovered. A cartel leader in custody. And a European cocaine market at the largest recorded level in its history. The kings fall. The trade continues.
Al Capone had his tax returns. Daniel Kinahan had Eddie Hutch.
In the tradition of Roberto Saviano, and Misha Glenny, CARTEL KINGS is a riveting, meticulously sourced investigation into the new architecture of global organized crime, and the widening gap between the prosecution and the problem.

"Immunity is an illusion that exists only as long as no one is talking about you."
December 19, 2025. The U.S. Department of Justice unleashed a 6-million-page secret upon the world. Official documents, photographs, audio recordings... But was everything truly laid bare?
Researcher and Author Furkan Mersin dove into this mountain of documents like a digital detective. What he encountered was not a simple tale of sexual abuse, but the codes of a global power operation. This book deciphers those codes for the first time:
 The true identities of the Lolita Express's "final passengers" and whom they were "serving" on that plane.

The Untouchables Club - The Final Stops Of The Lolita Express

The book explores the concept of counter-narratives to terrorism within the context of Pakistan’s unique socio-political, cultural, and historical experiences. It provides actionable insights to combat extremism, focusing on the role of ideology, socio-economic reforms, and community engagement in reducing radicalization.
As a frontline state in the global War on Terror, Pakistan deals with the rise of terrorist groups such as the Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and their shocking use of suicide terrorism. Despite military achievements, enduring peace remains elusive due to ideological and social origins of extremism. This book addresses the pressing necessity for counter-narratives—intellectual, cultural, and strategic outlines to challenge extremist ideologies and promote peace within and beyond the borders.

Counter-Narratives to Terrorism in Pakistan

NARCO TALES True Stories from America's War on Drugs 
Leo Silva's education in organized crime didn't begin at the DEA Academy. It began years earlier, when he was a teenage busboy in a glittering Brownsville nightclub, refilling water glasses for the men who built the Gulf Cartel-close enough to hear deals struck through the cigarette smoke. Years later, their faces stared back at him from wanted posters. And he was the one sent to hunt them. 
Drawn from real events, Narco Tales runs deep into the war on drugs: a cargo jet landing on a blacked-out highway, a rookie's first heroin buy beside a hard-drinking legend haunted by a dead partner, and the informants, comandantes, and ghosts who live in a world that runs not on rules-only consequences. 
These are stories of survival, of choices and their cost, of the razor's edge between justice and vengeance. Because the deeper you go into that world, the more you realize-everyone pays.

He was not supposed to rise. He was not supposed to survive.
And he was never supposed to challenge the system that created him.
In the shadowed world of New York's Mafia, power was inherited, not seized-protected by ritual, hierarchy, and silence. Then came Joe Gallo, a man who refused to play by rules older than his own name. Restless, unpredictable, and fiercely independent, Gallo did not simply live within the underworld-he disrupted it. His rebellion would fracture loyalties, ignite internal war, and expose the fragile foundations of an empire built on fear and tradition.
Outlaw Among Outlaws is not just the story of a gangster. It is a study of power under pressure. A portrait of ambition that refused containment. And a chronicle of a system forced to confront its own contradictions.
From the rigid authority of The Commission to the violent unraveling of the Profaci crime family, this book traces the fault lines that turned order into chaos. It reveals a hidden world where loyalty was currency, rebellion was fatal, and violence was negotiation by other means.
He challenged the bosses.
He broke the code.
He paid the price.
Blending narrative depth with historical precision, this account moves beyond myth to uncover the man behind the legend-and the forces that shaped him. It explores how crime operates not as disorder, but as an alternative form of governance, complete with its own laws, economies, and systems of control.
Because the truth is unsettling:
The underworld does not collapse.
It evolves.
And sometimes, it produces men who refuse to kneel.

The Legacy Of Crazy Joe Gallo

Outlaw Among Outlaws

Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a raw and unflinching true story of survival, gang culture, violence, and redemption on the streets of South London.
Growing up on the notorious Stockwell Park Estate in Brixton, Paul Smith was drawn into a world where drugs, robberies, gangs, and street warfare became part of everyday life. Raised without a father and surrounded by criminals who became his role models, he quickly rose through the brutal hierarchy of London's underground street culture.
What began as petty crime and childhood rebellion soon spiralled into a dangerous life of drug dealing, violence, paranoia, and destruction. By the age of nineteen, Paul's world collapsed completely, ending in a shocking six-day rampage that left multiple people dead and changed countless lives forever.
Told in Paul Smith's own voice, this powerful memoir takes readers deep inside Britain's hidden gang culture - from Brixton estates and sound-system clashes to prison cells and the notorious walls of Broadmoor Hospital. Honest, disturbing, emotional, and deeply reflective, this is not a glorification of crime, but a rare insight into the realities of street life, mental breakdown, guilt, and the search for redemption.
For readers of Gang Leader for a Day, Monster, A Sense of Freedom, and gritty urban true-crime memoirs, Once Upon a Time in Brixton is a gripping journey into a world few ever truly see - and even fewer survive.
