2.2 Historical Evolution of Organized Crime

1. The ancient faces — the banditry-and-piracy's worlds (the pre-modern organised wrongs).2. The modern births — the urbanisation's underworlds (the nineteenth-century gangs); the Sicilian Mafia's-and-the-American-Cosa Nostra's lore (the immigrant-and-territory structures).3. The prohibition's lesson — the US experiment's irony (the banning creating the black market's fortunes).4. The post-war globalisation — the trafficking networks' internationalisation (the drugs-and- arms routes of the Cold War world).5. The modern era — the transnational networks (the flexible cell structures); the cybercrime's- as-a-service faces; the convergence-and-cooperation with the legitimate economy (the laundering's bridge); the terrorist-crime nexus's debates.
