Dear Colleagues,
I am a criminologist working at the University of Wales, Bangor. My
specialist area is Russian and Eastern European organised crime. Like Johan
Backman, whose scholarship I greatly respect, I believe there is often a
serious exaggeration and misunderstanding about the notion of 'mafia'.
The details of recent research into organised and transnational crime in
the Baltic States and Kaliningrad (co-investigated by Frank Gregory of
Southampton University and Gerald Brooke) as part of the 'One Europe or
Several' Programme can be found on the following web site:

A list of publications can be obtained from me at this e-mail address.
I look forward to further communication with you all.
Kind regards
Paddy Rawlinson
