Kristie Verheul, the head of the Calgary police economic crimes unit, says organized crime and the reorganization of police resources are factors in a 60 percent increase in car thefts during 2015. The surge in stolen vehicles began in December 2014 and affects the entire city, with about 5,000 vehicles reported stolen this year compared to about 3,000 in 2014. Police say the increase can be blamed on several factors but are primarily tied it to other crimes, including organized crime. “Vehicle crime tends to facilitate other crimes,” said Verheul. “Overall we are seeing an increase in property crimes across the board.” That means once they’re stolen, the vehicles are used for transportation – moving drugs, guns and stolen goods around – as well as committing further crimes like robberies.

  • A Family. Murder. Revenge. the Mob. Bad Blood Was a Canadian Mafia Tale Waiting to Be Told
    A Family. Murder. Revenge. The Mob. Bad Blood was a Canadian mafia tale waiting to be told. How writers Michael Konyves and Simon Barry turned the epic true crime story into a hit series. By Matthew Hays It’s not every day that a writer wakes up to learn that Snoop Dogg has tweeted high praise for their show. Bad Blood scribe Michael Konyves says he’ll never forget it. “I couldn’t quite believe it,” he recalls, sounding like he might still be in shock. “We were certainly glad for the additional attention it brought the show.” That social media hit led to more attention for Bad Blood, the series about Montreal’s legendary Rizzuto Family and the evolution of the city’s 1990s mob scene, with all its associated assassinations and incarcerations. The show, currently in its second season, has proven to be a slow burn, launching in 2017 on Citytv in Canada and FX in the U.S. to solid reviews and respectable numbers. The Toronto Star’s Tony Wong even went as far as to liken it to Cardinal and The Sopranos. That’s definitely not shabby company to keep, but it wasn’t until Netflix began streaming it last December that Bad Blood started gaining real momentum — the aforementioned Snoop Dogg-attracting momentum, to be exact. Simon Barry knew the Rizzuto Family story was meant for the screen when production company New Metric Media approached him with the idea. It had purchased the rights to the acclaimed book Business or Blood: Mafia Boss Vito Rizzuto’s Last War, penned by journalists Antonio Nicaso and Peter Edwards.

    What’s in a Name? Shifting Identities of Traditional Organized Crime in Canada in the Transnational Fight against the Calabrian ‘Ndrangheta1 Anna Sergi* University of Essex Les autorite´s antimafia italiennes ont pre´venu la police canadienne des risques et des pre´occupations croissantes concernant l’infiltration de clans faisant partie de la mafia calabraise, connue sous le nom de ‘ndrangheta dans l’Est canadien2. L’alerte lie´e a` l’essor de la ‘ndrangheta de´fie les paradigmes du crime organise´ traditionnel au Canada parce que la ‘ndrangheta est pre´sente´e comme e´tant non seulement traditionnelle, mais aussi novatrice et plus omni- pre´sente que d’autres groupes de type mafia. En acce´dant a` des enqueˆtes confidentielles et en interviewant des spe´cialistes cle´s a` Toronto et a` Montre´al, cet article examine la perception institutionnelle actuelle de la mafia – particulie`rement la ‘ndrangheta – au Canada compare´e aux conceptualisations italiennes. Je soutiens que les changements de narratifs au Canada peuvent eˆtre compris en lien avec des changements concernant l’identite´ italienne dans le pays, allant vers une re´gionalisation et une connaissance spe´cialise´e des diffe´rences ethniques. Mots cle´s : mafia, crime organise´ italien, police, mobilite´ de la mafia, migration italienne, crime organise´ The Italian antimafia authorities have warned Canadian law enforcement about the risks and the growing concerns for the infiltration of clans of the Calabrian mafia, known as ‘ndrangheta, in Eastern Canada3. The alarm linked to the rise of the ‘ndrangheta challenges the paradigms of traditional organized crime in Canada, because the ‘ndrangheta is presented as tradi- tional but also innovative and more pervasive than other mafia-type groups.

In a review of the definitions of OC provided by 17 different scholars and other writ- ers, Albanese found that 12 had included “the use of force or threat” in the definition (Albanese, 2005: 9). In his textbook on organized crime, Abadinsky (2007: 4) lists the “willingness to use violence” as a fundamental trait of organized crime. As such, vio- lence is a “readily available and routinely accepted resource” for criminal organiza- tions. The Commission of the European Communities and Europol (2001: 42) identify 11 fundamental traits of a criminal organization, including “Using violence or other means suitable for intimidation” as well as “Using some form of discipline and con- trol” (which is often exercised through violence and the threat of violence).

Leighton, Adjunct Professor CONTACT: Office: Loeb B442 or elsewhere on campus Office Hrs: tbd Telephone: 613-314-7170 (mobile) 8:00am – 8:00 pm Email: [email protected] COURSE DESCRIPTION SUMMARY: This course examines the societal problem of enterprise crime, more commonly referred to as organized crime (OC). The interdisciplinary perspective of socio-legal studies is taken, with a focus on Canadian OC in comparative perspective and from a business/enterprise perspective. Topics covered will include: the concept and definition of OC; a range of disciplinary and theory perspectives; the relationship between OC and individual crime and parallel non-criminal economic activities; historical origins of OC in Canada and the US; international linkages and transnational crime; models of OC group structure; major OC groups in Canada; major criminal markets in Canada; means used to conduct or facilitate OC activities; strategies and tools for combating OC; and the future of OC. Note that, while this course covers a very few sections of the C.C.C (ss. 462, 467), it does not address substantive law issues or law reform (e.g., decriminalizing illegal drugs). LEARNING OBJECTIVE: The course objective is to advance our understanding of OC in five key areas: the definition, scope and impact of OC on Canadian society; the nature of and key attributes of OC groups; the nature of and operations of OC enterprises profiting from illegal goods and services; explanations for OC, including how illegal market opportunities are created and operate; and major public policy and law enforcement strategies and tools to combat OC.

  • Rothschilds of the Mafia in Aruba
    The Rothschilds of the Mafia on Aruba 1997 Tom Blickman Transnational Institute Published as part of TNI's former Crime and Globalization Project http://www.tni.org 1 The MPs of the Staten van Aruba – the Aruban Parliament – must have been bewildered when one of their own ministers smeared the good name of their island. Former minister Elio Nicolaas grins when he is reminded of his speech in 1989. (1) Finally someone had thrown a rock in the silent and complacent waters of the Caribbean tax-haven Aruba – a semi-independent part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. "I had to react," he says. "My own colleague, the Minister of Finance, denied money was laundered on the island." Nicolaas knew better. Prior to his political career he had been a police officer and had actually set up the anti-narcotics squad. His denunciation incited strong objections in Parliament. Opposition-leader – and former Prime Minister – Henny Eman demanded his resignation. Nicolaas retorted by suggesting that Eman's election campaign was financed with drug money. Nicolaas thinks today nothing has really changed: "The island is still infested with 'narco-complacientes', people who benefit from the drug trade." Indeed, Eman is once more Prime Minister of Aruba. "Well, did you come to write stories about our pirates island?” he asks sarcastically when we walk to his office. (2) Eman has had enough of the 'mad stories' about the Caribbean island as a 'Mafia Nest'. They are not substantiated and damaging for Aruba's good name, foreign trade and the tourist-industry, he thinks.
