language, making the text accessible to students of all levels* Categorizes crimes by type (rather than by topic) in order to help students better grasp the interrelationships between transnational and organized crime* Examines the nine most serious forms of transnational crime: drug trafficking, stolen property, counterfeiting, human trafficking, fraud and cybercrime,
commercialized sex, extortion and racketeering, money laundering, and corruption* Proposes concrete solutions for preventing organized crime syndicates and networks* Takes a systematic approach to risk assessment, delving into the factors that generate illicit markets and allow
