Although Europe has banned asbestos since 2005, many of the occupational and environmental harms perpetrated by the industry are still appearing. The aim of this paper is to present a new methodological technique to explore and map the social perception of these environmental crimes and harms. In particular, we ask: how do social actors feel about and interpret asbestos-related environmental crimes and harms? To answer this question, we applied a technique defined as ‘itinerant soliloquy’ to a specific context: Casale Monferrato (Italy). As the cognitive dimension is not enough to catch the complexity of these events, the itinerant soliloquy tries to increase the value of the experiential and reflexive encounter of the walking, the observing, the interpreting and the narrating.

“…(1987) and myself in a previous paper (Van Duyne 1991), it must be admitted that the role of the authorities is blameworthier than has been stated earlier. Though the Netherlands have no traditional organized crimefamilies as in the U.S.A., structurely the situation is not much different from that as described by Szasz (1986) and Block and Bernard (1988). One can speak of a community of crime-entrepreneurs who know each other well, forming a well functioning service network and who have (in North-West Europe) extensive international connections and good connections with the upperworld.…”

Abstract. This paper provides a description of organized fraud in the Netherlands on the basis of emprircal research. Organized crime is analysed within the framework of the enterprise theory, which considers criminal as entrepreneurs trading in forbidden goods or services. Large scale organized fraud crime-enterprises operated among others on the meat market, electronic equipment industry, toxic waste industry and the stock market. In most schemes they exploited the price wedge between the costprice and the price due to taxes and government regulations offering goods and services to a gacefully receiving legitimate industry. In the organized toxic waste scams the authorities are suspected to be heavily involved. Money-laundering operations were conducted either by the crime-enterprises themselves or by specialized firms. The research showed that some "branches" of business crime-enterprises have links with traditional drug trafficking enterprises.
