Iranian Outsourcing of State Political Objectives to Criminal Actors
States have long-used their own criminals to achieve political objectives. This phenomenon is being supplemented by a new modus operandi: the outsourcing of criminal activity to non-domestic crime groups in both Europe and the United States. This strategy, as this paper will reveal, has been less successful in achieving state goals than that of deploying domestic crime groups and diaspora criminals, as Russia and China have done. A very well-deve…
Criminal street gangs and domestic sex trafficking in the United States
Combating Sex Trafficking
Legitimate companies are key facilitators of human trafficking. These corporate facilitators include not only websites providing advertisements for commercial sex services but also hotels and motels. Analysis of all active federal criminal sex trafficking cases in 2018 and 2019 reveals that in approximately 80% of these cases, victims were exploited at either hotels or motels. This paper studies the prevalence of the hospitality industry in the c…

Dark Commerce
Corruption & Illicit Trade
Illicit trade in diverse commodities–including drugs, people, natural resources, and counterfeit goods–is a significant component of the global economy.

Transnational corruption has facilitated the global growth of illicit trade, undermining governance, the economy, health, social order, and sustainability in all regions of the world. This essay explores…

IntroductionMegacities are developing across many regions of the world - in particular in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. These cities are growing rapidly as migrants from rural areas or those escaping conflicts gravitate to urban areas. Migrants often
Human Trafficking
Since the beginning of research on human trafficking, there has been attention paid to the challenges surrounding the illicit economy. In creating new strategies and initiatives on combatting human trafficking, there needs to be more discussion surrounding the legitimate economy and how the business sector can make an impact in the fight against trafficking. Currently, there is a growing movement of businesses that are looking to address human tr…
Dirty Entanglements
The entangled threat of crime, corruption, and terrorism now deserves high-level policy attention because of its growth trajectory. Using lively case studies, this book analyzes the transformation of crime and terrorism and the business logic of terrorism. Louise I. Shelley concludes that corruption, crime, and terrorism will remain important security challenges in the twenty-first century as a result of economic and demographic inequalities in t…
International Crime and Justice
International crime and justice is an emerging field that covers international and transnational crimes that have not been the focus of mainstream criminology or criminal justice. This book examines the field from a global perspective. It provides an introduction to the nature of international and transnational crimes and the theoretical perspectives that assist in understanding the relationship between social change and the waxing and waning of …
Human Trafficking
This book examines all forms of human trafficking globally, revealing the operations of the trafficking business and the nature of the traffickers themselves. Using a historical and comparative perspective, it demonstrates that there is more than one business model of human trafficking and that there are enormous variations in human trafficking in different regions of the world. Drawing on a wide body of academic research - actual prosecuted case…
The Nexus of Organized Crime and Terrorism
This article examines two case studies that illustrate how two different types of actors were involved in a cigarette smuggling-terror nexus. The first case examines R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s alleged deliberate sales of its products in Iraq in contravention of the UN embargo and U.S. law. R.J. Reynolds used criminal actors as suppliers and provided financial compensation to the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), a recognized terrorist organizat…
Organized Crime and Corruption in Georgia
La trinidad no santa
Os tradicionais grupos de delinqüência transnacional e seus homólogos mais recentemente formados possuem relações bastante diferentes com o Estado e com o terrorismo. Em países formados há muito tempo,os grupos delitivos de maior antigüidade têm se desenvolvido junto aos órgãos estatais e dependem das estruturas institucionais e financeiras existentes para movimentar seus produtos e investir seus ganhos. Estes grupos também requerem comunidades e…
Trafficking in Nuclear Materials
The essay examines the networks that facilitate the transport of nuclear materials from the source to their possible purchasers. Analyzing the role of prisons in criminal operations, the interaction of criminals and terrorists, and the character of new organized crime groups, the author concludes that some of the most serious nuclear smuggling is not random or opportunistic. Rather, the most serious trafficking is rarely detected because it is ru…
Human Traffic and Transnational Crime
Human Trafficking is a growing transnational criminal phenomenon_conservative estimates put the total number of persons trafficked annually at two million. In this first in-depth study of human trafficking in Russia and Ukraine, scholars from the European, Siberian, and far-eastern parts of Russia offer groundbreaking analyses of the motivations behind and reactions to this horrifying trend.
Methods Not Motives
Transnational organized crime and corruption are topics that security planners are increasingly visiting in their analyses of terrorism, most often examining how terrorism and transnational organized crime intersect and diverge. Clarifying these relationships is vital to approaching the current turbulence in global politics. This article examines the relationships between these two entities to arrive at the conclusion that transnational criminal …
Can Russia Fight Organized Crime and Corruption
The murder of Valentin Tsvetkov, the governor of Magadan in central Moscow in broad day light in October 2002 highlights that organized crime and corruption are still alive and well and highly destructive of life and governance in Russia (Wines, 2002). His murder once again raises the question, “Why has Russia not been able to stop organized crime and high level corruption?” The answer is that Russia docs not have the political will at the nation…

The Soviet militsiia (regular police) has evolved in the past 70 years from a feeble body seeking to ensure the survival of Soviet rule to a massive bureaucracy corrupted by nearly absolute power. As the Soviet militia has developed the focus of its activities, its ethos, professionalism, and its relationship to both the Party and KGB have changed in all periods, the militia has had political, economic, and social responsibilities, but the balanc…
The Geography of Soviet Criminality
A distinct geographical distribution of criminality exists in the Soviet Union as a result of the measures of social control exercised over the mobility and residence of the population, and that differentiates Soviet crime from that of both developing and developed countries. In the USSR increasing urbanization is not correlated with higher rates of criminality. As a result of the internal passport system and the difficulties of moving to large c…
Soviet Criminology
Shortly after the 1917 Revolution, the Soviet Union developed sophisticated and diversified criminological research. Well-trained lawyers, doctors, and social scientists obtained access to criminal statistics, research facilities, and funding and were unhampered by ideological limitations. The varieties of descriptive, statistical, and experimental research on crime conducted in criminological institutes by government agencies and independent res…

The paper concludes that the nature of Soviet policing differs from that of western democratic societies.

Human Rights as an International Issue
Human rights currently constitute an issue of great concern. Several conditions, resulting from cumulative postwar developments and the current political situation, account for the present change in attitude toward human rights. They are (1) institutional developments of the past forty years; (2) the growth of citizen human rights organizations; (3) decline in superpower involvement in international and regional military conflicts; (4) the curren…
Internal Migration and Crime in the Soviet Union
AbstractLa législation qui gouverne le mouvement interne de la population soviétique a au même temps influencé la géographie de la criminalité. Le niveau de criminalité en l’URSS est plus élevé dans les nouvelles villes de l’extrême nord et de l’est du pays que dans les plus grandes villes, un modèle qui se manifeste seulement dans l’Union Soviétique. Les banlieues ne sont pas les résidences de la haute société mais des couches inférieures de la …

Law in the Soviet Workplace
The USSR can survive without the rule of law which characterizes most western democracies, because the force of Soviet law lies in individuals, rather than codified regulations. The iuriskonsult (legal advisor), who personalizes legal authority, increases the stability of the system and provides tangible benefits for the economic and social order. Many Soviet citizens find solutions to their legal problems as a result of the iuriskonsult's assist…

The 1929 Dispute on Soviet Criminology
LOUISE SHELLEY (Washington, D.C., U.S.A.) The 1929 Dispute on Soviet Criminology * The 1929 dispute on the future of criminological research in the USSR gave to Soviet scholars their last opportunity to exchange views on the proper content and methodology of crime scholarship. This debate terminated ten fruitful years of crime research during which many outstanding scholars drawn . from several academic disciplines analyzed the phenomenon on crim…
Soviet and Yugoslavian Criminology
Yugoslavia and the Soviet Union have created very different criminologies in the post-war period. The criminologies of these two countries differ in terms of quality, diversity of subject matter and the level of analytical sophistication. Yugoslavia, with many fewer criminologists in proportion to its population than the Soviet Union, has achieved international recognition for its crime research, a distinction that eludes Soviet scholars despite …

Historical Trends in Moscow and Leningrad Crime
Moscow, Leningrad, and Kiev, the major Soviet cities, presently have lower rates of criminality than other urban areas in the USSR,1 thus defying the generally observed correlation between the level of urbanization and the crime rate.2 The Soviet Union has not always been the exception to this internationally observed phenomenon, for in the period directly after the 1917 revolution these three cities had exceedingly high rates of criminality.3 Th…
