ABSTRACT
This chapter explores one of the largely overlooked elements within the literature of transnational organized crime (TOC). It considers the geographies of organized crime. In pursuing this, the chapter aims both to excavate those geographical ‘traces’ that exist, often implicitly, within the literatures of TOC and to raise a number of questions that would repay further investigation. It is worth, first, considering the contributions that might be opened up by a dialogue between a discipline and a phenomenon that have previously had few, if any, substantive links through the research literature.
