Dark Web and Transnational Organised Crime (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783346333636)

Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: 76, University of Bradford, course: Environment, Trafficking and Crime: Transnational Issues and International Governance, language: English, abstract: Globalization has become an opportunity for those trying to gain an advantage in illegal trading. This enables crime and empowers illegal organizations to exchange organizational expertise and, in certain instances, to cooperate with criminals and other militant armed groups. The vast volume of licit trade enables illegal commodity trafficking to create insurmountable challenges for state entities trying to track them down. Deviant globalization is the easiest approach to understand and support how illegal drugs cross boundaries and capture territory across the dark web. In fact, transnational crime groups have made use of developments in information technologies, logistics and even the dark web to extend their capacity to smuggle greater quantities of illicit narcotics, rendering it increasingly challenging for law enforcement to track and stop such operations. One of the most common types of transnational criminal activity is the illicit transport of psychoactive drugs, mandated through three instruments of international law known as drug control conventions, through one or more national frontiers. This is usually referred to as "trafficking in illegal drugs." Although the transnational dimension remains the exception rather than the rule for most types of crime, drug trafficking has had a critical transnational element from the very beginning of the international drug control system in the early 20th century.
