Yasar, Muhammet Murat. "Transnational Organized Crime and Destabilization in Democracies, Russian Organized Crime as Case Study." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2001. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2827/.
Full textAbstract:
Transnational organized crime has been prevalent during the last century, but it recently has been recognized as a threat to the world order. Governments throughout the world, along with the intergovernmental organizations identified this phenomenon as a new threat to domestic and international security. This paper attempts to explain the impacts of transnational organized crime on the functioning of democratic societies by adopting the Russian Organized Crime as case study. The descriptive research with regard to definition, scope and organization of transnational organized crime, along with the objectives, limitations and methodology of this research will be included in the first chapter. Recent trends observed in organized crime`s character and the impact of organized crime on the political economies of democratic regimes will be contained in the following chapters. Pre-conditions for a broader response to transnational organized crime and conclusive remarks will be the context of the last chapter.

Aksakal, Baris. "Transnational Organized Crime and the Drug Business." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2002. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc3271/.
Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes the activities of the organized crime groups involved in the drug business, as well as examining national and international efforts to control these groups. Specifically, this study addresses the following questions: How is organized crime connected to the international drug business?; What are the major transnational organized crime groups involved in the international drug business?; What is the nature of the drug problem as it relates to organized crime internationally?; What international cooperative law enforcement efforts currently exist to deal with organized crime and the drug business? Findings indicate that efforts to create an effective international law enforcement network are needed to meet the challenges of drug trafficking and globalized crime. To date, such efforts have largely been unsuccessful.

Full textAbstract:
L'étude de la coopération pour la prévention et la recherche des infractions entre le Mozambique et les autres États de la Communauté pour le développement de l'Afrique australe (SADC) s'impose en raison de plusieurs facteurs induits par l'évolution de la société et qui facilitent les activités criminelles dans cette région du monde : le processus d'intégration en cours en Afrique australe, la suppression des visas entre certains États de la région qui conduit à une augmentation de la mobilité des personnes d'un pays à l'autre, le développement des technologies d'information et de communication. Ces principaux facteurs constituent des défis pour la sécurité publique dans la région de l'Afrique australe et exigent des États la reconnaissance et la réaffirmation de la nécessité de coopérer, y compris la mise en place d'actions concertées pour lutter plus efficacement contre des formes de criminalité traditionnelles qui évoluent ou des formes de criminalités plus nouvelles. Parmi ces deux catégories, on remarque la présence de la criminalité organisée, le trafic de stupéfiants, la cybercriminalité sans oublier les trafics de véhicules ou d'êtres humains.L'objet de la recherche concerne l'existence et l'efficacité de la coopération pour prévenir et lutter contre ces formes de criminalité, qu'elles soient transnationales ou ayant un lien d'extraterritorialité. Pour ce faire, un état des lieux des textes applicables est utile ; il permet une compréhension éclairée du dispositif. Or ces textes sont nombreux et variés au motif de leur origine bilatérale, régionale ou internationale. Leurs liens sont également complexes en raison des différentes criminalités qui existent dans cette région. Enfin, leur mise en œuvre est rendue difficile. Elle l'est d'une part au regard de l'histoire de la région de l'Afrique australe qui a connu, à partir des déclarations d'indépendance, une période pendant laquelle des coopérations policières régionales existaient sans support légal. L'intégration de la SARPCCO dans la SADC a permis de mettre un terme à cette pratique. Elle l'est d'autre part à cause des souverainetés qui, encore relativement prégnantes, sont des obstacles à la coopération. Notre recherche a donc nécessité de faire le point sur les antécédents historiques de la coopération policière dans la région de la SADC en particulier et dans les relations avec d'autres États ou régions du monde, sur le développement des mécanismes juridiques et institutionnels de coopération, sur l'institution et la consolidation de la coopération policière dans les structures de la SADC, enfin sur le comité des chefs de police et ses liens avec Interpol. Ces éléments ont permis d'apprécier les principaux progrès et les limites de cette coopération<br>The cooperation study for the prevention and the research of infringements between Mozambique and the other states of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) decree on account of several factors resulting in the evolution of the society and that facilitates the criminal activities in this region of the world: the ongoing integration process in Southern Africa, the abolition of visas between certain states of the region that leads to an increase in mobility of people from one country to another, the development of information and communication technologies. These main factors constitute as some challenges for public security in the region of Southern Africa and demand some states the acknowledgement and the reassertion as a necessity to cooperate, including the arrangement of joint actions to fight more effectively against the traditional crime forms that evolve or the more recent crime forms. Among these two categories, we notice the presence of organised crimes, the trafficking of narcotics, cybercrime without forgetting the trafficking of stolen vehicles and human beings.The objective of the research concerns the existence and the effectiveness of the cooperation to prevent and fight against these crime forms, that they are transnational/cross-border or having an extraterritorial link. In order to do this, an inventory of the applicable texts is necessary; it allows an enlightened understanding of the measures. But these texts are numerous and diverse on the basis of their bilateral, regional or international origins. Their links are equally complex due to the different crime forms that exist in this region. Finally, their implementation is rendered difficult. It is on one hand in view of the history of the region of Southern Africa that was known from the independence declarations, a period during which some of the regional police cooperation existed without legal support. The integration of SARPCCO in SADC allowed putting an end to this practise. It is on the other hand due to sovereignty that still relatively significant are some of the obstacles at the cooperation. Our research has thus required to focus on preceding history of the police cooperation in the region of SADC in particular and in relations with other states or regions of the world, on the development of the cooperation's legal and institutional mechanism, on the establishment and the strengthening of the police cooperation in the SADC organization, and finally on the Council of Police Chiefs and his links with Interpol. These elements have authorized to appraise the principal progress and the restrictions of this organization

Durmaz, Huseyin. "International police cooperation as a response to transnational organized crime in Europe: Improvements in extradition." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2005. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc4883/.
Full textAbstract:
International criminality has been a challenging phenomenon for national police forces for years. States have developed international police cooperation relations and extradition instruments in order to fight international criminal activity. This treatise explores the reasons for the rise in transnational organized crime activities in Europe and presents an in-depth explanation concerning the emergence, mandates, and structures of multilateral police collaboration systems such as Interpol, Trevi, Schengen, and Europol. Since the extradition has become an inseparable part of international policing, this study examines the improvements in extradition procedure and emphasizes the importance of extradition. Finally this study compares traditional (European Convention on Extradition of 1957) and new (European Arrest Warrant) extradition systems.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)-- Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In 1992, warring factions in Mozambique put an end to 15 years of violence and instability.
By signing the General Peace Accord in Rome, the civil war was officially over, and postconflict
reconstruction could begin. The post-conflict state has been struggling with high
poverty, weak infrastructure and the burden of returning refugees as well as internally
displaced people (IDP’s) in the aftermath of the war. Moreover, in recent years, increasing
domestic activity on the part of transnational criminal syndicates has become a major national
and regional security dilemma.
In this study, Mozambique, as a post-conflict state has been examined to identify the most
important factors that lead to the increase and continuation in transnational crime in terms of
human trafficking. Using prevailing state theories and post-conflict theories within the field of
Political Science and analyzing Mozambique from the conceptual theoretical lenses of Max
Weber, Charles Tilly, Shmuel N. Eistenstadt, and several other scholars, it is argued that there
are numerous elements present within the state that have led to an increase in crime. These are
first and foremost the (neo) patrimonial features of the state, corrupt state-officials, the state’s
pluralist legal-system and a general lack of public trust in the legitimacy of the government.
Incomplete post-conflict reconstruction efforts, resulting in lack of public goods, such as
health-care, schooling and jobs along with a culture of exploitation and objectification of
women and deep-rooted gender-inequality in Mozambique is argued to provide criminal
syndicates with an opportunity to capitalize on organized crimes such as trafficking of
humans.
In recent years, positive developments manifest themselves through the international
recognition of human trafficking and domestic ratifications of international laws and
protocols to combat human trafficking. While Mozambique has ratified “The Protocol to
Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, especially Women and Children” this
study reveals state factors that make the elimination of the crime of human trafficking in
Mozambique difficult. The findings of the study are symbolic of a globalized problem.
Combating transnational crime does not depend solely on international, regional and domestic
cooperation through laws and regulations; it also necessitates increased national efforts in
dealing with the root-causes of trafficking and to increase the political and public awareness
in the country towards this human rights violation.<br>AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In 1992 het strydende groepe in Mosambiek 'n einde gemaak aan 15 jaar van geweld en
onstabiliteit. Met die ondertekening van die Algemene Vredesverdrag in Rome, is die
burgeroorlog amptelik beëindig en post-konflik rekonstruksie kon begin. Die post-konflik
staat het gesukkel met hoë armoede, swak infrastruktuur en die las van terugkerende
vlugtelinge en interne verplaasde persone in die nadraai van die oorlog. Daarbenewens het
toenemende plaaslike aktiwiteite van transnasionale kriminele sindikate in die afgelope jare 'n
groot nasionale en streeks-sekuriteitsdilemma geword.
In hierdie studie is Mosambiek as 'n post-konflik staat geanaliseer om die mees belangrike
faktore wat tot die toename in transnasionale misdaad (in terme van mensehandel) gelei het,
te identifiseer. Deur gebruik te maak van bestaande staatsteorieë en post-konflik teorieë in die
veld van Politieke Wetenskap en deur Mosambiek te analiseer uit die teoretiese blik van Max
Weber, Charles Tilly, Shmuel N. Eistenstadt, en andere, word daar geargumenteer dat daar
verskeie elemente binne die staat is wat tot dié toename in misdaad gelei het. Allereers is die
neo(patrimoniale) kenmerke van die staat, korrupte staatsamptenare, die pluralistiese
regstelsel en algemene gebrek aan publieke vertroue in die regering. Daar word
geargumenteer dat onvolledige post-konflik rekonstruksie, wat 'n tekort aan publieke goedere
soos gesondheidsorg, opvoeding en werk tot gevolg het, tesame met 'n kultuur van die
seksualisering van vroue en diep-gewortelde geslagsongelykheid in die staat, vir kriminele
sindikate geleenthede vir organiseerde misdaad soos mensehandel bied.
In die afgelope jare het positiewe ontwikkelinge gemanifisteer deur die internationale
erkenning van mensehandel en die plaaslike bekragtigings van internationale wette en
protokols om mensehandel te bestry. Alhoewel Mosambiek "The Protocol to Prevent, Supress
and Punish Traffickin in Persons, especially Women and Children" bekragtig het, toon die
studie dat sekere staatsfaktore die uitwissing van mensehandel in Mosambiek moeilik maak.
Die bevindinge van die studie is simbolies van 'n globaliseerde probleem; die bestryding van
transnasionale misdaad berus nie net op internasionale, streek en plaaslike samewerking deur
wette en regulasies nie, maar dit noodsaak ook verhoogde nasionale inspanning om die
grondoorsake van mensehandel te hanteer en om politieke en publieke bewustheid omtrent dié
menseregteskending in die land te verhoog.

van, Asch Edward. "Exploring the effectiveness of international cooperation to combat transnational organized wildlife crime : lessons learned from initiatives in Asia." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2017. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/19161/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis aims to explore the effectiveness of international cooperation to combat transnational organized wildlife crime by analysing some lessons learned from two specific initiatives in Asia: the Association of Southeast Asian Nations’ Wildlife Enforcement Network (ASEAN-WEN) and the Border Liaison Office (BLO) Mechanism. However, both exploring and measuring effectiveness are part of a difficult puzzle. To fit all the pieces of the puzzle together, the research explores the international framework within which the illegal wildlife trade is combated as well as the role of the various actors involved. The illegal wildlife trade is then examined as a transnational organized crime. This is followed by an analysis of the emergence of new structures or initiatives developed to facilitate cooperation and coordination to combat the illegal wildlife trade in Asia, and Southeast Asia in particular. The research provides a process evaluation of the initiatives on the illegal wildlife trade and cross-border cooperation and is grounded on findings which are constructed around themes identified based on available literature and perceptions of participants involved in the initiatives. The thesis provides an in-depth analysis of two existing efforts in Asia and attempts to measure their effectiveness as organisations, though it is not possible to undertake an outcome evaluation. It also identifies ways to strengthen both the effectiveness of efforts and the way one could analyse or measure their effectiveness. This includes exploring the challenges of cooperation and the various actors involved; considerations on wildlife crime as a serious transnational crime and combating it through platforms for cooperation, and; exploring and measuring the effectiveness of the different initiatives in a process evaluation. Given the pervasive role of corruption, some reflections on this important matter are included. The thesis concludes with some thoughts for future research and engagement for the broader research community as well as practitioners or organizations involved in similar efforts to combat transnational organized wildlife crime.

Full textAbstract:
This study consists of a qualitative analysis on the subject of human trafficking in Canada. It is intended to explore the steps that have been taken to address the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementary Legislation to the Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime (2000c), also known as the Palermo Protocol, and examine Canada’s commitment to changing the international and domestic context in which human trafficking takes place. Through exploration of Canadian legislation, literature and prosecutions presented in Canadian courts between January 2005 and December 2011, this research aims to establish whether Canada has shown a commitment to ending and preventing the problem of human trafficking that is consistent with the Recommended Guidelines published by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner on Human Rights (2002). A nominal coding scheme was used to show in basic terms the level of commitment Canada is showing toward combating the issue of human trafficking, both internationally and domestically. Results indicate that while Canada has met minimum standards by implementing anti-trafficking legislation in 2005 which is consistent with the Palermo Protocol, the country is falling short of commitments to combat human trafficking due to inadequate victim protection measures, lack of standardized data collection procedures and insufficient efforts to combat and prevent the root causes of trafficking.
