520 |a Gangsters like Al Capone and Lucky Luciano are infamous as figureheads of organized crime, which is now synonymous with criminal groups such as the Mafia. Michael Woodiwiss reveals a more disturbing side to organized crime, in which government officals and wider business communities are deeply complicit. Woodiwiss shows how control policies on systematized crime are mired in corruption, legitimizing repression and concealing failure. Delving into attempts to implement such policies in the US, Italy and the UK, Woodiwiss reveals little-known manifestations of organized crime among the political and corporate establishments. Woodiwiss examines those who constructed and then benefitted from this mythmaking. These include the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini, opportunistic American politicians and officials and, more recently, law enforcement bureaucracies, led by the FBI. -- from back cover.
