Transnational Crime
Comparative Criminal Justice Systems
Introduction:
Transnational crime is a growing problem. Transnational crime is defined as “self-perpetuating associations of individuals who operate transnational for the purpose of obtaining power, influence, monetary and/or commercial gains, wholly or in part by illegal means, while protecting their activities through a pattern of corruption and/ or violence, or while protecting their illegal activities through a transnational structure and the exploitation of transnational commerce or communication mechanisms.” (National Security Council, n.d.) . Transnational crimes are known under other names such as cross-national crime, global crime, international crime, and transnational crime. In my paper, I will attempt to explain transnational crime and the types of crimes committed under this such as cybercrime, drug trafficking, money laundering, maritime piracy, theft of art and cultural objects, trade in human body parts, and human trafficking
In the early twentieth century, citizens feared gangsters such as Al Capone and Baby face Nelson. In modern day society, the everyday technology most cannot live without is feared. Computers, cell phones, and tablets can all be used to participate in transnational crime. Transnational crime is defined as “self-perpetuating associations of individuals who operate transnational for the purpose of obtaining power, influence, monetary and/or commercial gains, wholly or in part by illegal means, while protecting their activities through a pattern of corruption and/ or violence, or while protecting their illegal activities through a transnational structure and the exploitation of transnational commerce or communication mechanisms.” (National Security Council, n.d.) Transnational crime comes in many types, such as cybercrime, drug trafficking, money laundering, maritime piracy, theft of art and cultural objects, trade in human body parts, and human trafficking.
