With organized crime estimated to generate billions of dollars
every year through illegal activities such as money laundering,
smuggling of people and goods, extortion, robbery, fraud and
insider trading, authorities are increasingly working together to
combat this increasing threat to international security and
stability.
In this book former police officer Frank Madsen provides a much
needed, short and accessible introduction to transnational
organized crime, explaining its history and the key current issues
and clearly examining the economics and practices of crime in the
era of globalization.
Key issues discussed include:
- the war on drugs
- anti-money laundering efforts
- the relationship between organized crime and terrorism
- development of Internet based criminal activity
- international response to transnational organized crime.
Illustrated by a series of researched case studies from around
the world, Transnational Organized Crime is essential reading for
all students and researchers in International Relations,
International Law and Criminology.
