Routledge - The United Nations and Transnational Organized Crime

Transnational organized crime represents a major threat to the international community. This volume, derived from a UN conference, provides a deep look into the dangers posed by these criminal activities. It identifies various methods for regional, national, and international cooperation to prevent and control crime on a global scale. Readers will examine specific strategies such as the use of intelligence networks, preventive measures, and the implementation of extradition treaties. The text also covers the importance of criminalizing participation in criminal organizations and the development of an international convention. For governments and scholars, this book explains why recognizing the seriousness of these threats is the first step toward the reduction and containment of transnational organized crime.
