Mafia Inc.
The runaway bestselling exposé about Canada's most infamous mafia family is finally available in English, updated to include shocking events and revelations that followed its newsmaking publication in Québec. Queens, New York, 1981. When Alphonse "Sonny Red" Indelicato and two others are found dead in a vacant lot, police fail to solve their murders. For their killer and his Montréal family, their deaths mark the beginning of an epic rise to criminal power that will last over thirty years. But in the mid-2000s, having escaped justice for decades, father and son Nicolo and Vito Rizzuto are finally arrested and convicted, one in Montréal and one in the United States. Meanwhile, deep inside...
Don't Be a Dick
Once upon a time, there was a man who believed in an ethical code of conduct when communicating. “Don't Be a Dick” started out as an inside joke, used towards people who's behaviour would hinder communication. Over time, this man discovered a growing epidemic. There was an overwhelming amount of people sabotaging conversations regularly. The concept of “Don't be Dick” could no longer remain unwritten. He forged three rules and categorized behaviours directly responsible for communication breakdowns. It is a concept he has adopted in his every day life to promote healthy communication.
Angels, Mobsters and Narco-Terrorists
In this ground-breaking book, Antonio Nicaso, an internationally renowned expert on organized crime groups, and Lee Lamothe, a veteran investigative journalist specializing in criminal conspiracies, present solid evidence of how established organized crime groups — such as the Mafia and the Triads — have changed their tactics and allegiances to protect their interests against the rise of violent and power-hungry gangs from Albania, Mexico, and Russia. Angels, Mobsters, & Narco-Terrorists reveals how, due to their shared border, the USA and Canada have become prime targets for criminal groups that engage in money laundering and prostitution rings, and trafficking in human cargo, narcotics, and arms. On the international scene, state-sanctioned crime is thriving on heroin profits and cyber crime is emerging as a very lucrative and baffling activity to investigate and shut down. Dive inside the world of organized crime and discover how far it has penetrated our lives.
Two Firsts
Bertha Wilson and Claire L’Heureux-Dubé were the first women judges on the Supreme Court of Canada. Their 1980s judicial appointments delighted feminists and shocked the legal establishment. Polar opposites in background and temperament, the two faced many identical challenges. Constance Backhouse’s compelling narrative explores the sexist roadblocks both women faced in education, law practice, and in the courts. She profiles their different ways of coping, their landmark decisions for women’s rights, and their less stellar records on race. To explore the lives and careers of these two path-breaking women is to venture into a world of legal sexism from a past era. The question becomes, how much of that sexism has been relegated to the bins of history, and how much continues?
Sin City North
The early decades of the twentieth century sparked the Detroit-Windsor region's ascendancy as the busiest crossing point between Canada and the United States, setting the stage for socioeconomic developments that would link the border cities for years to come. As Holly M. Karibo shows, this border fostered the emergence of illegal industries alongside legal trade, rapid industrial development, and tourism. Tracing the growth of the two cities' cross-border prostitution and heroin markets in the late 1940s and the 1950s, Sin City North explores the social, legal, and national boundaries that emerged there and their ramifications. In bars, brothels, and dance halls, Canadians and Americans wer...
Transnational Crime
Hardly a day goes by without some sensational media report on the new danger of transnational crimes. If it is not about drug trafficking or political corruption, it is about illegal trade in nuclear materials, terrorism or money-laundering. The articles contained in this volume represent the best research currently available on this high-profile area of law.
Il fallait se défendre
Il fallait se défendre raconte l’histoire des Bélanger, le premier gang haïtien à Montréal. Témoignage de Maxime Aurélien, premier chef de gang haïtien, sur les années 1980 à Montréal et l’invention des gangs criminalisés. Écrit avec l’universitaire et activiste Ted Rutland, Il fallait se défendre remet en question les compréhensions et les réponses du grand public à l’égard des jeunes racisés. Plutôt qu’une bande de délinquants violents, le gang était une réponse à la violence des autres : le racisme anti-Noir normalisé dans la ville, et la brutalité policière.
