Unit VIII, Question 11
Transnational crime is a crime with multiple meaning, which is consider to be crime committed in one or more states, but extensive part of its preparation, planning, direction or control takes place in another state (Bohm & Haley, 2008, p. 532). It is an organized crime that have spread across borders that involving groups working in more than one country to arrange and carry out criminal dealing speculations. Transnational organized crime groups have also been involved in hijacking, terrorism, and civil wars (Bohm & Haley, 2008, p. 535). Some significant criminal activities of transnational crime groups are noticeable in numerous varieties, including as cybercrime, trafficking in drugs, attempt to damage government organizations, money laundering, smuggling weapons and even persons. For example, criminals over and over again use the internet to commit a large amount of offenses known as cyber crimes such as the recent activity of the Target scandal. In which thieves stole over 40 million of Target’s customer credit card numbers, and unfortunately I was one of the victims of that incident. Despairingly, in the future law enforcement agencies should enhance their fight against transnational organized crime.
