Many of us learned most of what we know as to the mafia and organized crime from sources such as The Godfather movies or The Sopranos TV show. Hear from a true subject matter expert on the topic as we speak with Dr. Anna Sergi, Senior Lecturer from the University of Essex.  How close are the Five Families of New York still linked with the Italian Mafia?   How has the secrecy around organized crime factored into our understanding of this topic? These and so many other intriguing topics covered in this myth busting episode of #thecriminplogistpodcast.   Publications:  https://essex.academia.edu/AnnaSergi Global Initiative Against Org Crime:  https://globalinitiative.net/experts/anna-sergi/ From Mafia to Organized Crime: http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9783319535678 'Ndrangheta: The Global Dimensions of the most powerful Italain mafia:  http://www.palgrave.com/gp/book/9783319325842
