This pioneering study looks across key trafficking crimes from human trafficking to drug dealing and black markets in wildlife, to develop a social theory of transnational criminal markets.
Revealing how traffickers think of their illegal enterprises as 'just business', Mackenzie draws broader lessons for the ways forward in understanding criminality in this emerging field.
