| Abstract | Joseph L. Albini (1930-2013) is a central figure in the historiography and criminology of organized crime and one of the leading revisionists critical of the traditional, centralized paradigm of organized crime rooted in the structural-functional approaches dominating sociology from the 1940s to 1980s. Albini argued that the Mafia was a socially-constructed entity that took on a life above and beyond its actual manifestations, thereby serving a vital role and function in political and social discourse in the United States. Albini used interdisciplinary theoretical perspectives and a mixture of social scientific and historical research methods to analyze data derived from a breadth of documentary sources and underworld and upperworld informants. This allowed Albini to deconstruct the historical and contemporary mythologies about a centralized national Mafia and to develop an alternative framework to evaluate organized crime in its complex and ever-evolving manifestations. Albini also advanced innovative critical criminological approaches that influenced the work of his contemporaries and scholars of later generations. Albini’s later work 1) explored the impact of globalization on organized crime including transnational alliances between career criminals, terrorist networks and the security apparatuses of various nation states and 2) developed a conceptual framework, the organized crime matrix, to explain organized crime as a structure of everyday life across time and space. |
