Transnational crime involves organized criminal activities that extend across national borders, profoundly impacting global security, economies, and societies....
Transnational crime refers to serious offenses committed by organized groups that cross national borders, affecting multiple countries and exploiting differences in national laws and enforcement capabilities.
Key examples include drug trafficking, human trafficking, cybercrime, arms smuggling, money laundering, illicit wildlife trade, and the trafficking of counterfeit goods.
Its complexity arises from jurisdictional issues, varied national laws, rapid technological advancements, lack of consistent international cooperation, and the adaptable nature of criminal networks.
It undermines national security, distorts economies, fuels corruption, violates human rights, and can destabilize regions, contributing to global social and political unrest.
