Recensioner i media

"The authors concentrate on the cultural background of criminal networks and how their traditions affect their activities, as well as incorporating analysis of their entrepreneurial endeavours. ... Leman and Janssens set out to examine leadership and entrepreneurial practices commonplace in criminal networks, and essentially provide a business-centred analysis of these networks' activities. ... This book is thoroughly recommendable for researchers wishing to gain insight into the activities of criminal networks." (Fiona Loeffel, Slovo, Vol. 28 (1), Winter, 2016)
