The articles included in the symposium are revisions of studies that were commissioned by the New York State Organized Crime Task Force. Professors Ichniowski and Preston were requested to make analyses from the perspective of economists the reasons for the existence of corruption and racketeering in the construction industry in New York City. The authors of the other three articles were asked to make reports determining the efforts to prevent or decrease racketeering in the New York/New Jersey longshoring industry, the Quebec construction industry, and the New Jersey gaming industry.
