The Financial Flows of the Transnational Crime: Some Preliminary Empirical Results

Until 2008, the growth of the world economy was quite strong and improved the economic well-being all over the globe, but this development was also accompanied by some risks. One of them is transnational crime, which has shown a remarkable increase in the last 20 years3. This raises the following two questions: (1) How is transnational crime financed, and what do we know about this financing? (2) What economic implications does transnational crime have? In this contribution question (2) will be very briefly answered, however the main focus lies on providing a more detailed answer on the financing of transnational crime (question 1). Additionally a detailed analysis of the finances of transnational crime is crucial to reduce their financial options, so that the basis of their operations is at least limited. Such an analysis is another goal of this chapter. My paper is structured as follows: section 2 provides a literature review on the kinds of transnational crime financing. Section 3 shows the infiltration of transnational crime into the economic system. In section 4 some conclusions and policy recommendations are drawn.

Secondo rapporto sulla sicurezza nel Trentino : 1999

Questo Secondo rapporto sulla sicurezza nel Trentino continua l’analisi e l’approfondimento già iniziati nel primo rapporto sviluppando tre attenzioni: alle vittime, alle realtà locali ed alla prevenzione. Ciascuna di queste è stata approfondita attraverso ricerche ad hoc condotte dall’Osservatorio sulla sicurezza nel Trentino: quella alle vittime tende a conoscere il livello di vittimizzazione nel Trentino con particolare riguardo alla categoria dei commercianti; quella alle realtà locali continua con la percezione delle situazioni di allarme da parte dei Sindaci dei diversi Comuni del Trentino; quella della prevenzione inizia indicando alcune esperienze straniere in termini di prevenzione e ne esamina le best practices in alcune realtà, ipotizzando il loro adattamento alla realtà italiana. Continua, poi, sviluppando, attraverso due ricerche sui minori e gli adulti, le misure alternative alla detenzione in carcere. L'analisi si inserisce nel contesto definito dal disegno di legge del Consiglio Provinciale 2 novembre 1999, n. 57 "Politiche provinciali per la sicurezza"

Economics of Transnational Crime

The purpose of the course “Economics of Transnational Crime” is to give students comprehensive understanding of contemporary patterns and economic characteristic of transnational crime in the context of globalization

Transnational Influences on Financial Crime

Transnational Crime can loosely be defined as a crime that occurs across borders and is differentiated from domestic and international crime by the absence of a single sovereign or supranational power that has absolute jurisdiction over the crime. The dynamics of actors in transnational spaces, as well as the lack of a clear enforcing authority in such spaces, creates significant challenges to efforts to disrupt and deter transnational crime. Addressing these types of crimes requires a holistic approach from state and non-­‐state actors using a variety of tools, many of which are not traditionally law enforcement in nature. Focusing on the financial aspects of transnational crime, this paper seeks to outline some of the current tools available for addressing transnational crime, as well as advocating for an integrated approach to enforcement

Transnational Crime in a Global Community: The Case of West Africa

This research project is an examination of the organization and behavior of criminal group activity in the region of West Africa. An assessment of the size, structure, and type of criminal enterprises crime groups are involved in are investigated. It is also uncovered if and how groups make use of corruption, the legit economy, and influence politicians. The environment in which transnational crime is able to thrive is also of great interest as the social, political, economic, and technological changes that occurred alongside the sudden trend in transnational crime activity are considered. The information is used to generate a discussion about the nature of transnational crime and why it continues to flourish in this particular area. Finally the question is raised if whether there is an alternative way to try and understand the reality of transnational crime and the individuals involved

Conflict and transnational crime: borders, bullets and business in Southeast Asia

Exploring the links between armed conflict and transnational crime, Florian Weigand builds on in-depth empirical research into some of Southeast Asia’s murkiest borders. The disparate voices of drug traffickers, rebel fighters, government officials and victims of armed conflict are heard in Conflict and Transnational Crime, exploring perspectives that have been previously disregarded in understanding the field. Weigand’s nuanced comparative analysis of four border regions in Southeast Asia counters the stereotypical view that conflict zones are lawless areas in which all kinds of criminal activities flourish. Chapters illustrate the logic that determines the relationship between armed conflict and transnational crime. Further, the book analyses how smuggling economies function in conflict zones, explaining why some rebel groups are involved in the smuggling economy more than others, and why state actors actually play a much more crucial role. This crucial study will be a compelling read for international relations, political sociology and development studies scholars. The in-depth analysis of real-life situations will also greatly benefit policy-makers and aid organisations looking to better support areas at the heart of conflict and transnational crime

International business encounters organized crime:the case of trafficking in human beings

With increasing globalization, transnational crime in general, and human trafficking in particular, a design of new legal framework is required in order to effectively operationalize interstate law enforcement operations and prosecutions. The development of a transnational criminal legal framework—or frameworks—can build on pre-existing transnational economic frameworks. There is also the need to extend the application of domestic law beyond national borders to influence transnational corporate behavior. Regulations based on reflexive law are one possible approach. Teubner’s idea of reflexive law has been informing developments in this area. This approach uses traditional national law to inform corporate governance strategies in order to achieve effects on the market. A few jurisdictions have already adopted measures modeled on this approach to tackle human trafficking and slavery-like conditions in global supply chains. Weaknesses in the approaches adopted by the UK and the State of California have already been identified. If strengthened, this approach could be adopted in more jurisdictions—including the EU—and also to combat more areas of transnational crime—such as money laundering. This paper will examine the resulting challenges using human trafficking as a case study
