“Illegal Entrepreneurship, Organized Crime and Social Control is a festschrift comprised of 19 chapters written primarily by leading European scholars who have done research on organized crime and criminal markets. … This volume … is a welcome addition to the literature in highlighting both new insights into understanding organized crime and also the importance of the ethnographic method as a path to get there. The book should bring new attention to Hobbs’ work and contributions … .” (Jay S. Albanese, Rutgers University, clcjbooks.rutgers.edu, March, 2017)
