Episode Eleven - Gangs and Governance

Criminal gangs have been part of our society since well before we had a police force.In most cases, they limit their role in communities to simply providing illicit services. Some though go further and start to act as informal systems of governance. They play a role which in normal circumstances would be the preserve of the state.In this week's episode we look at a paper called , "Criminal governance in a large European city: The case of gangs in London." It’s written by Paolo Campana, Federico Varese, and Cecilia Meneghini, and published in the European Journal of Criminology. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/14773708251315581To contact A Perspective on Crime follow the link belowhttps://tr.ee/Ymb5yiqRUW Hosted on Acast.
