Download or read book Studies in Gangs and Cartels written by RobertJ. Bunker and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns over the changing nature of gangs and cartels and their relationships to states in the late 20th and early 21st centuries has resulted in the emergence of a scholarly body of work focused on their national security threat potentials. This body of work, utilizing the third generation gangs and third phase cartel typologies, represents an alternative to traditional gang and organized crime research and one that is increasingly influencing the US defense community. Rather than being viewed only as misguided youth and opportunistic criminals or, in their mature forms, as criminal organizations with no broader social or political agendas, more evolved gangs and cartels, are instead seen as developing political, mercenary, and state-challenging capacities. This evolutionary process has emerged due to the growing illicit economy and other unintended consequences of globalization.This important anthology of writings by Robert J. Bunker and John P. Sullivan draws upon a collection of their works from the mid-1990s to the present with the addition of new essays written specifically for this publication. The work will be of great interest to academics and students in the fields of political science and criminal justice and to military, law enforcement, and governmental professionals and policy makers.This book is a collection of new and previously published works from a variety of publications, a full list of which is on the Citation Information page.

Download or read book Hitmen for Hire written by Mark Shaw and published by Jonathan Ball Publishers. This book was released on 2017-07-10 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hitmen for Hire takes the reader on a journey like no other, navigating a world of paid hitmen, informers, rogue policemen, criminal taxi bosses, gang leaders, and crooked politicians and businessmen. Criminologist Mark Shaw examines a society in which contract killings have become commonplace, looking at who arranges hits, where to find a hitman, and even what it is like to operate as a hitman – or woman. Since 1994, South Africa has seen a worrying increase in the commercialisation of murder – and has been rocked by several high-profile contract killings. Drawing on his research of over a thousand incidents of hired assassinations, from 2000 to 2016, Shaw reveals how these murders are used to exert a mafia-type control over the country's legal and illegal economic activity. Contracted assassinations, and the organised criminal activity behind them, contain sinister linkages with the upperworld, most visibly in relation to disputes over tenders and access to government resources. State security actors increasingly mediate relations between the under and upper worlds, with serious implications for the long-term success of the post-apartheid democratic project.

And now, he has decided to come clean and seek atonement for his life as a murderer and one of the most covertly dangerous men alive. An account of a life lived between our world and a shadowy underworld of criminals, a life lived under the radar of the law, a life lived in death. This is the true story of a hitman.
Download or read book The Ice Man written by Philip Carlo and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Philip Carlo's The Ice Man spent over six weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List. Top Mob Hitman. Devoted Family Man. Doting Father. For thirty years, Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski led a shocking double life, becoming the most notorious professional assassin in American history while happily hosting neighborhood barbecues in suburban New Jersey. Richard Kuklinski was Sammy the Bull Gravano's partner in the killing of Paul Castellano, then head of the Gambino crime family, at Sparks Steakhouse. Mob boss John Gotti hired him to torture and kill the neighbor who accidentally ran over his child. For an additional price, Kuklinski would make his victims suffer; he conducted this sadistic business with coldhearted intensity and shocking efficiency, never disappointing his customers. By his own estimate, he killed over two hundred men, taking enormous pride in his variety and ferocity of technique. This trail of murder lasted over thirty years and took Kuklinski all over America and to the far corners of the earth, Brazil, Africa, and Europe. Along the way, he married, had three children, and put them through Catholic school. His daughter's medical condition meant regular stays in children's hospitals, where Kuklinski was remembered, not as a gangster, but as an affectionate father, extremely kind to children. Each Christmas found the Kuklinski home festooned in colorful lights; each summer was a succession of block parties. His family never suspected a thing. Richard Kuklinski is now the subject of the major motion picture titled "The Iceman"(2013), starring James Franco, Winona Ryder, Ray Liotta, and Chris Evans.

Do you want to know one of the many ways that the mafia managed to keep control over the USA for so many years? One of the easiest ways that mafia bosses would keep control is to have hitmen working for them. Dangerous, cold-hearted men who killed without any thought whatsoever. Who were these men? How did they become the way they were? How did they kill? Why did they kill? In this book, we'll talk about many infamous mafia hitmen and answer the above questions about them. Just a few of the hitmen we'll be talking about include: ● Sammy "The Bull" Gravano and the reasons he became one of the most important flips on the mafia to date, plus, how he ended up in prison again for the second time ● Richard "The Iceman" Kuklinski and the crazy ways he would get away with his murders and all the genius ways he'd get rid of a body ● Thomas Pitera and the years he spent in Japan studying samurai ● Giuseppe Greco and his death crew ● Joseph Barboza and the actual, totally crazy reason he was often referred to as "The Animal." ● Abe Reles and his mysterious death; he thought he was safe and he really wasn't; was he actually trying to escape or is there something far more sinister at play here? ● Alexander Solonik and the absolutely incredible things he could do with two guns, and his never-ending determination to stay out of prison ● Benjamin Siegel, the father of Las Vegas and the only one who says it's potential to become what it is today It's hard to pinpoint the reason to why reading about these people, and their horrific crimes are so fascinating, but we're not here to explain that. We're just here to give you enjoyable, fascinating stories, and there's no shame in that. The stories in here are shocking, twisted, and pretty amazing. So, if you're interested in finding out about any of these men and how they got away with their crimes or just are interested in hitmen in general, this book is definitely a good part to start full of enjoyable stories.
