Transnational organised crime in Europe and North America: towards a framework of prevention
online resource
posted on 2006-02-09, 15:03 authored by Adam Bouloukos, Graham Farrell, Gloria LaycockPrevious volumes of the HEUNI regional reports have paid little or no attention
to transnational organized crime. Although the literature on transnational organized
crime (hereafter TOC) is expanding rapidly, there remain fewstandardized
measures of the problem. There is even less of a formal framework for thinking
about how to prevent TOC in its various forms. The present chapter begins to address
these issues, with an emphasis upon practical aspects of the latter.
In the following section, TOC is defined and set in a global context, a broad
overview of factors relating to recent changes is given, and international legislative
responses are described. This is followed by the presentation of a framework
that is frequently used in discussions of more general crime prevention efforts. It
is proposed that its utilization in this context will help inform the analysis of efforts
to prevent TOC.
