Abstract This paper addresses the international law enforcement models applied to organized crime and terrorism and their interconnections, arguing that the approach adopted by the Palermo Convention should serve as a model for the fight against terrorism from several points of view. More specifically, the Palermo Convention demonstrates the feasibility and relevance of a global cooperation instrument which, in the case of terrorism, is still lacking. Moreover, the Palermo Convention adopts a global approach combining a preventive and a repressive dimension, differently from the more traditional anti-terrorism conventions. A rapprochement in the legal framework for fighting organized crime and terrorism is desirable also in light of their frequent overlaps; arguably, this rapprochement should follow the UNTOC’s model rather than the one of administrative and military repression that is often applied in combating terrorism.

Optimal Law Enforcement

Although corruption and optimal law enforcement literature have addressed the effects of corruption, little has been done to analyze the decision to become corrupt. For example, little is known about risk preferences and how they might affect the nature of a corrupt exchange scheme. To answer this question, a theoretical analysis is developed that considers the noncoercive incentivea and circumstances necessary for a law enforcement official, assumed averse to criminal risk, to choose a corrupt exchange with organized crime that involves murder. Risk-aversion and the severity of the crime involved are shown to reduce the likelihood of detecting the corruption scheme and murder is shown to be optimal. Corruption schemes involving less risk averse offenders are analyzed and compared.

Changing World

This chapter documents Lenny Patrick’s growing paranoia by 1974. This was a pivotal year—the twenty-fifth since the death of Benjamin Zuckerman and Patrick’s own rise to power. Everyone knew that and, for practical purposes, such knowledge mattered. It meant people made way for him; that they understood he had influence to help in shady business; and that they acceded to his suggestions, requests, or threats. In a legal sense, though, the difference between knowledge and proof was everything. Until law enforcement had hard evidence against him, he was a free man. And by 1974 the FBI and Chicago Police Department had been trying to collect such evidence for at least fifteen years through sustained campaigns of surveillance, wiretapping, and harassment. Wherever Patrick went, someone was trying to track him. He had had a long run as boss of Chicago Jewish organized crime, but the net was tightening around him.
