“…As several authors have noted (see for example Cohen, 1977;Wright, 2006;Levi, 2012), organized crime is a contested concept that can embody many different types of criminal activities organized through many different types of networks or associations. For the purpose of this research, to mitigate the risk of excluding any homicide cases where organized crime groups were involved, an inclusive definition of organized crime was used.…”

This paper examines the structure and modus operandi of South Asian criminal organisations operating in the UK. It is based on empirical research conducted between 2005 and 2006 among prisoners sentenced for drug offences, a number of drug distributors operating in the market, and observers with a knowledge of the drugs business working for the police force or for rehabilitation services. First, the paper offers an overview of the debate on organised crime, and after a methodological note, the research findings are utilised to propose a typology. Hypotheses are formulated around the illicit drug enterprises involved in British markets. Finally, the implications for law enforcement with respect to these enterprises are discussed.

RESUMO:Este ensaio-resenha mapeia sistematicamente as várias influências de outras áreas de pesquisa científica, incluindo a economia, a psicologia e a neurobiologia, no estudo do crime organizado. Apoiando-se na análise da literatura norte-americana e internacional, referências metafóricas e substantivas a outras disciplinas são tematizadas em cinco planos de consideração: o crime organizado individual, as atividades em que estes indivíduos estão envolvidos, os padrões de associação por meio dos quais eles estão conectados, as estruturas de poder que subordinam estes indivíduos e grupos a interesses comuns ou a interesses particulares, e as relações entre estes indivíduos, estruturas e atividades, por um lado, e as esferas legais da sociedade, por outro. Argumentase que é necessário um programa de pesquisa visando constituir um corpo de conhecimento para superar as deficiências do atual uso eclético de conceitos e teorias de outras disciplinas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE:Crime organizado. Pesquisa. Teoria da organização. Psicologia. Estudos de gênero.Ao longo dos últimos trinta anos, o estudo do crime organizado tornouse uma subdisciplina independente com seus próprios manuais, revistas e
