Abstract
In the introductory chapter of this book, the main goals and themes of the volume are outlined. The editors illuminate that the emphasis of this book is on the ways criminal networking and illegal markets have developed in the first two decades of the twenty-first century and how these developments have mutually influenced the motivations and opportunities to commit organized crime and its containment. The volume not only focuses on illegal activities in illegal markets, that is, drugs and human trafficking, but also addresses organized crime and deviance in legitimate industries.
