Question 22: What are some of the most important examples of types of transnational crime and organized groups that commit these crimes? How have the United States and other countries tried to combat transnational crime, and with what results? Why is transnational crime so difficult to eradicate? (Reference: ). International relations and world politics: Security, economy, identity).
Some of the most important examples of transnational crimes are: money laundering; illicit drug trafficking; corruption and bribery of public officials; fraudulent bankruptcy; insurance fraud; computer crime; theft of intellectual property; illicit trafficking of arms; terrorist activities (for example, 9/11); aircraft hijacking (see also 9/11); and, one that we are seeing more and more of recently -- sea piracy.
There are many transnational terrorist organizations that have been identified being certain groups and therefore this identification has helped us keep a close watch on their activity (for example, Al-Qaida), though with the prevalence of different cells around the world, it still proves to be a very big threat to society at large. When it comes to sea piracy,...
Money laundering is also extremely high on the list because of its significant impact on the global economy at large. Proceeds from the drug trade alone are estimated to reach a $500 billion figure every single year. Also, computer crimes are more and more pervasive because of the linking from the World Wide Web. Individuals or groups of people can perform computer crimes. Transnational crime is difficult to eradicate simply because of the scope of the world and the systems that need to be connected in order to fight crime on a global scale (Viotti & Kauppi 2009). However, some of the future concerns are definitely going to be focused on computer crimes and, as noted, sea piracy -- as there has been a major resurgence.

Amnesty International (2010) also reports that domestic violence is the major cause of death and disability for women ages 16 to 44 years. Of course, there isn't any forgetting that women in Colombia and Darfur -- places of dangerous armed conflict -- are commonly raped. Amnesty International also notes that the trafficking of women has become a global issue; women are exploited sexually, raped, forced into hard labor and are
One also has to question the 'rationality 'of these criteria in the light of the severity of the possible repercussions and diplomatic fallout. The most acceptable criterion which could justify the use of force in intervention is when the freedom of the state of the safety of its citizens comes under real and tangible threat. However, what is much more questionable are other criteria which are vague and possibly ethically
Those countries who have developed their own WMD programs and have not signed various non-proliferation agreements, highlights this hypocrisy that is existing in the international community. Where, no one is willing to force new countries that develop their own WMD programs to commit to such standards. This is problematic, because it telling the world that those countries not committing to various non-proliferation efforts, can maintain their programs (in secrecy) despite
Where, many can be able to acquire and construct such materials that can be purchased on the black market. As a result, this increases the odds that these types of weapons will be used in the future, to create a super terrorist attack. This is significant, because it can be used to corroborate other research on terrorists seeking to acquire and use WMDs. Where, they could be purchased on
Employee development and training is an alternate zone. In the IT business, training is not simply about recognizing training needs and giving the presupposed training, but anticipating and reckoning the necessities and advancing suitable training to equip employees so that they can handle the challenges. Another serious challenge is the way businesses have the ability to fuse all the sub-systems in HR and help them in accomplishing a definitive objective:
K. And the U.S. can both learn from these emerging nations and their dedication to improving the lives of their children. Brazil, for example, leads the E-9 countries in per-capita expenditures for young children (Levin 2005, p. 198). China has committed to the universalization of preschool education (children ages 3-6) in urban areas by 2015, to increasing enrollment in one-year programs in rural areas, and increasing overall enrollment in preschool education.
