Criminals and service providers: cross-national dirty economies

Ruggiero, Vincenzo ORCID: https://orcid.org/0000-0002-4090-849X (1997) Criminals and service providers: cross-national dirty economies. Crime, law, and social change, 28 (1) . pp. 27-38. ISSN 0925-4994 [Article]

Abstract

This article examines the recent evolution of transnational crime. By focusing on two specific criminal activities, namely the trafficking in human beings and the illicit trafficking in arms, it tries to establish the relationship between conventional criminal organisations and the official economy. It concludes by observing that the illegal services provided by conventional criminals to official economic actors are made increasingly redundant, because the latter tend to set up their own illegal practices which service their activity.
