The Prediction and Control of Organized Crime
Theft of the Nation
Organized crime in America today is not the tough hoodlums familiar to moviegoers and TV watchers. It is more sophisticated, with many college graduates, gifted with organizational genius, all belonging to twenty-four tightly knit "families," who have corrupted legitimate business and infiltrated some of the highest levels of local, state, and federal government. Their power reaches into Congress, into the executive and judicial branches, police …
Selling Sex Overseas
Every year, thousands of Chinese women travel to Asia and the United States in order to engage in commercial sex work. In Selling Sex Overseas, Ko-lin Chin and James Finckenauer challenge the current sex trafficking paradigm that considers all sex workers as victims, or sexual slaves, and as unwilling participants in the world of commercial sex. Bringing to life an on-the-ground portrait of this usually hidden world, Chin and Finckenauer provide …
Organized Crime in Chicago
Victims of Sex Trafficking in Turkey
An emerging transnational crime problem, human trafficking occurs in almost every part of the world. But as a transit, source, and destination nexus for immigration, Turkey is particularly vulnerable in this regard. Turkey attracts many foreigners who choose to come there for geographical, historical, economic, and political reasons; some of these persons are victims of human trafficking. This article examines the problem of trafficking for sexua…

The Prediction and Control of Organized Crime
Like most former Soviet republics, Ukraine has experienced a formidable proliferation of crime and corruption as it struggles with economic reform and the establishment of democracy. During the early 90s, Ukraine became one of the primary recipients of foreign assistance from the United States and its crime and corruption situation was increasingly seen as an impediment to economic transition and achieving a more democratic way of life. Thus in 1…

Russian Mafia in America
Does a Mafia really exist? This text seeks to answer that question by examining the intricate history of Russian organized crime in both its homeland and the United States. It investigates in detail such topics as the characteristics of the Russian criminal tradition of vory v zakone (thieves-in-law), contemporary Russian mobs, criminal activity among Russian immigrants, claims of KGB involvement in American crime, and connections between the cri…
Russian Youth
Focusing on Russian youth, Finckenauer (criminal justice, Rutgers U.) explores the process of legal socialization: how young people learn about rules, norms, and laws and how they decide that certain rules are regulators of their behavior.

Juvenile Delinquency and Youth Subcultures in the Former Soviet Union
Attempting to examine and explain juvenile delinquency in the former Soviet Union in 1991 and 1992 is akin to what one Sovietologist reported as attempting to change a tire on a moving automobile. But to make matters worse, in this case the automobile has not only been moving, but in the meantime has changed into another form. The Soviet Union underwent accelerating social, economic, and political changes beginning in 1985. One cumulative effect …

Juvenile Delinquency in the USSR
This paper looks at juvenile delinquency in the Soviet Union in the context of certain social structural theories of delinquency. These theories attempt to explain the behavior in terms of broad socio-cultural aberrations and socio-economic inequities in the society. It is just these aberrations and inequities which have been consistently ignored or denied by Soviet authorities. As part of the research for the paper, the author spent two months i…
