TEDxTbilisi - Gavin Slade - Reputation Management: the Decline of the Thieves-in-Law in Georgia

Gavin Slade discusses the decline of organized crime in Georgia, and learns lessons about the global fight against criminal organizations.

Gavin Slade, PhD, researches criminological themes with a particular interest in organized crime, prisons and penal policy, and policing.

His book, Mafia in Transition: Criminal Resilience and Adaptation in Post-Soviet Georgia, will be published by Oxford University Press in 2013.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
