Abstract

Parts II and III of this book focussed on the interaction between state and civil society in an extortion racket system. In this part of the book we turn to the third corner of the typology discussed in Chap. 3, the criminal organisation itself. We approach the investigation of the modes of organisational behaviour in the crime field from its reverse angle: the breakdown of a criminal network in an escalation of intra-group violence. This chapter discusses background literature, the empirical basis of the investigation into the criminal organisation and a conceptual model extracted from the data. Chapter 11 presents an agent-based model resulting from this empirical basis.
