Transnational crimes involve border crossings as an integral part
of the criminal activity. They also include crimes that take place
in one country with consequences that significantly affect other
countries. Examples include human trafficking, smuggling (arms,
drugs, currency), sex slavery, non-domestic terrorism, and
financial crimes. Transnational organized crime refers specifically
to transnational crime carried out by organized crime syndicates.
Although several encyclopedias cover aspects of transnational
crime, it is this encyclopedia's emphasis on transnational justice,
as well, that differentiates it from the pack. Not only do we
define, describe, and chart the crimes and criminal activity, we
also will include significant coverage of policing those crimes and
prosecuting them within domestic and international court systems.
Accessible and jargon-free and available in both print and
electronic formats, the one-volume Encyclopedia of Transnational
Crime and Justice will contain such entries as arms smuggling, art
fraud, charity fraud, hacking and computer viruses, copyright
infringement, counterfeiting, drug smuggling, extradition, human
trafficking, intelligence agencies, international banking laws,
Internet scams, Interpol, money laundering, pollution and waste
disposal, price fixing, prosecution, sanctions, sex slavery, tax
evasion, terrorism, war crimes, the World Court, and more. Features
& Benefits: 150 signed entries (each with Cross References and
Further Readings) are organized in A-to-Z fashion to give students
easy access to the full range of topics in transnational crime and
justice. A thematic Reader's Guide in the front matter groups
entries by broad topical or thematic areas to make it easy for
users to find related entries at a glance. In the electronic
version, the Reader's Guide combines with a detailed Index and the
Cross References to provide users with convenient search-and-browse
capacities. A Chronology in the back matter helps students put
individual events into broader historical context. A Glossary
provides students with concise definitions of key terms in the
field. A Resource Guide to classic books, journals, and web sites
(along with the Further Readings accompanying each entry) helps
guide students to further resources in their research journeys. An
Appendix includes the Congressional Research Service Report on
International Terrorism and Transnational Crime.
