Series Statement:
Transnational crime
Content:
The perceived threat of 'transnational organized crime' to Western societies has been of huge interest to politicians, policy makers and social scientists over the last decade. This book considers the origins of this crime, how it has been defined and measured and the appropriateness of governments' policy responses. The contributors argue that while serious harm is often caused by transnational criminal activity - for example, the trafficking in human beings - the construction of that criminal activity as an external threat obscures the origins of these crimes in the markets for illicit goods
Note:
Originally presented Feb. 1999-Feb. 2001 at a series of six seminars organized under the heading of Policy responses to transnational organised crime.
