The final book by the late Stephen Ellis, This Present Darkness: A History of Nigerian Organised Crime, was launched at the ASCL on 9 June. To mark this occasion, the ASCL Library has compiled a web dossier on Crime in Africa, with a special focus on Nigeria. The dossier is divided into four themes: Crime general; Illicit trade, drugs and human trafficking; Corruption and commercial crime; Police and Vigilante groups. It opens with a personal word on Stephen Ellis by ASCL director Ton Dietz, and a thematic introduction on crime and the quest for integrity by ASCL researcher Chibuike Uche. Read the web dossier.
