The second edition of Stephen Schneider’s highly regarded Canadian Organized Crime provides an introduction to criminal syndicates, organized crimes, and enforcement principles and practices in Canada. This widely informative and accessible new edition continues its comprehensive historical, empirical, and theoretical overview of organized crime in Canada with numerous case studies that make the material vivid and understandable for students.Incorporating new research, recent Canadian cases, and current enforcement structures and laws in Canada, this text will give readers a broad understanding of the social, political, and economic forces that contribute to the continued existence of organized crime in Canada. The text examines new trends and developments that have affected organized crime since the first edition, including the ongoing revolution in digital communications (the internet dark web), the proliferation of cryptocurrency, the opioid epidemic, organized criminality in the time of COVID, the growing power of the ‘Ndrangheta in Ontario, the fallout from the implosion of Quebec’s Rizzuto mafia family, and the new business model employed by the Hells Angels throughout Canada.This textbook will appeal to students in criminology, sociology, political science, and law and justice programs, criminal justice professionals working in the field of organized crime enforcement, and readers interested in true crime literature.

"This is a comprehensive treatment of organized crime: its nature, causes, and organization with a good portion of examples and cases from both inside and outside Canada. I found it both interesting and illuminating, especially when discussing some of Canada’s more unique organized crime problems."
—Jay S. Albanese, International Criminal Justice Review
“This is one of the few texts that is comprehensive and provides an insightful and well-researched approach to organized crime in Canada. I would recommend this for any undergraduate course on organized crime.”
—Dr. Keiron McConnell, Criminology Department, Kwantlen Polytechnic University
“Readers will learn about the symbiotic and predatory nature of organized crime in Canadian society and the efforts of police and law enforcement to control it. This book goes beyond the headlines to give an encyclopedic account of organized crime in Canada that draws on agency reports, police cases, and news media coverage. Written in clear academic language, it describes how the fight against organized crime in Canada has progressed historically and up to the present day.”
—Dr. James Sheptycki, Professor of Criminology, McLaughlin College, York University
