Transnational Organised Crime

Organised crime covers a wide range of activities, including drug trafficking, illegal trafficking of people, and fraud. The existence of a land border does not impede these operations, but is instead in many cases used to their advantage. In response, law enforcement strategies must include a transnational, multi-agency approach.This book critically analyses the extent to which Northern Ireland and Ireland have been successful in implementing effective action against transnational organised crime. It explores the adoption of key law enforcement strategies and measures in Northern Ireland and Ireland, and evaluates how regional and international standards have been implemented at the national level.
