This book presents a unique series of graphic narratives that offer a new way to recount the lived experiences and life stories of women involved in transnational organized crime groups, from victims to perpetrators. Based on ethnographic interviews and police files, it seeks to tell individual stories and contribute to broader discourses about crime, power relations, and victimhood. The four graphic stories cover cutting-edge issues in crime, effectively depicting the voices of those who are often voiceless and hidden in a more complex social and criminal phenomenon.

This captivating book presents a groundbreaking series of graphic narratives that offer a fresh and innovative approach to recounting the lived experiences and life stories of women who are involved in transnational organized crime groups. Spanning from victims to perpetrators, these narratives provide a unique lens through which to explore the complex tapestry of these women's lives.

Drawing upon ethnographic interviews and extensive police files, academic Felia Allum and artist Anna Mitchell have collaborated to craft a series of narratives that aim to tell individual stories while also contributing to broader discourses surrounding crime, power relations, and victimhood.

The four graphic stories featured in this book delve into cutting-edge issues within the realm of crime, encompassing County lines and British gangs, Nigerian syndicates, Italian Mafias, and Albanian drug gangs. Each story effectively captures the voices of those who are often marginalized and overlooked in the broader social and criminal phenomenon, presenting a nuanced and empathetic portrayal of their experiences.

This book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars in criminology, sociology, gender studies, and comics studies, as well as for the general reader who is interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the complexities of organized crime and the lives of its participants. Through its visually compelling storytelling and thoughtful analysis, this book offers a fresh perspective on a topic that has been largely overlooked in academic discourse.
