Students learn about the role of technology in expanding criminal networks, leadership and membership positions/functions within international crime organizations, and demographic country-level variables that make nations more susceptible to organized crime. The book addresses the role of TOC organizations in crimes against humanity, vulnerable groups, and the environment. Students learn about drug trafficking; weapons trafficking; human trafficking; environmental crimes and wildlife trafficking; the illicit trade of art, antiquities, and other goods; and violent extremism and terrorism. Closing chapters discuss police efforts to control TOC and provide an overview of international courts and justice.Transnational Organized Crime is an ideal textbook for courses in organized crime, transnational crime, and comparative criminal justice.Country/Region of Manufacture: USAuthor: Kimberly A.
