Transnational Organized Crime
Terrorism is a disease to society, and it is a very prevalent issue in contemporary society. Terrorism happens both internationally and locally. Different factors present in the community make the situation terrible day by day. Apart from local and international crime, there are other types of crimes like organized trans-national and white color crimes, which also exist within the society (Cox et al., 401). The faulty community is one of the ways through which a terrorist organization gets its ability to work and be able to operate. However, in a fully functioning society whereby law enforcers are serious with their work, there is less likelihood of terrorism happening.
Transnational organized crime is a kind of crime whereby illegal groups organize themselves and operate within many countries, not for political gains but financial and power gains (Cox et al., 402). These groups have their structure and their way of making their work easier. United Nations defines these as groups of three or more people who can access international platforms to make their financial gains and power gain. The main types of organized transnational crime include cybercrimes, smuggling, human trafficking, among others. Therefore, the terrorists get supplies to their personal needs achieved through the groups (Cox et al., 403).
According to the FBI, the level of money gained through transnational organized crime is around $1 trillion worlwide. Therefore it is a significant concern that these sums of money be intersected and made available for the common good of the people (Cox et al., 411). It is possible through police and immigration officers training in matters to deal with identifying uncommon businesses. Therefore this makes it possible for them to capture most of these individuals. There is also an encouragement that the public is involved in reporting what cases they doubt or suspect to the relevant authorities for action (Cox et al., 417).
