Book excerpt: This book examines Russia's attempts to tackle the challenges of the new and increasing security threats of rising crime, corruption and terrorism that it has experienced since the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991.

Uncovering information not seen before by Western audiences, this book: shows how Russia's porous borders have facilitated the operation of transnational crime groups explores the specific features that make particular regions such as Siberia important for the drug trade and other forms of smuggling, analysing the character of the different criminal groups and networks, and investigating the informal links and collusion between these organizations and police officials considers the operation of corrupt practices in the military sector, one of the most closed parts of the economy analyzes the ways in which Russia is fighting crime, corruption and terrorism, and the implications for civil liberties argues that the extensive flows of illegal immigrants into Russia are creating ever more fertile grounds for corruption, crime and terrorism, while the immigrants themselves are often the victims of this crime.
Book Synopsis Webs of Corruption by : Mariya Omelicheva
Download or read book Webs of Corruption written by Mariya Omelicheva and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counterterrorism experts and policy makers have warned of the peril posed by the links between violent extremism and organized crime, especially the relationship between drug trafficking and terrorism funding. Yet Central Asia, the site of extensive opium trafficking, sees low levels of terrorist violence. Webs of Corruption is an innovative study demonstrating that terrorist and criminal activity intersect more narrowly than is widely believed—and that the state plays the pivotal role in shaping those interconnections. Mariya Y. Omelicheva and Lawrence P. Markowitz analyze the linkages between the drug trade and terrorism financing in Central Asia, finding that state security services shape the nexus of trafficking and terrorism. While organized crime and terrorism do intersect in parts of the region, profit-driven criminal organizations and politically motivated violent groups come together based on the nature of state involvement. Governments in high-trafficking regions are drawn into illicit economies and forge relationships with a range of nonstate violent actors, such as insurgents, erstwhile regime opponents, and transnational groups. Omelicheva and Markowitz contend that these relationships can mitigate terrorism—by redirecting these actors toward other forms of violence. Offering a groundbreaking combination of quantitative, qualitative, and geographic information systems methods to map trafficking/terrorism connections on the ground, Webs of Corruption provides a meticulously researched, counterintuitive perspective on a potent regional security problem.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Money Laundering on Organised Crime and Terrorism by : Mick Still
Download or read book The Impact of Money Laundering on Organised Crime and Terrorism written by Mick Still and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2018 in the subject Sociology - Law, Delinquency, Abnormal Behavior, grade: 1,0, Coventry University, language: English, abstract: The aim of this work is to provide sufficient information on the most significant key facts of money laundering and the negative impact of terrorism and organised crime on economy, companies, and society. To provide essential basics, the project will begin with the origin and definitions of the terms "money laundering" (ML) and "terrorist financing" (TF), and the differences between the two terms. Additionally, the most relevant legislations and law enforcement units addressing the issue will be demonstrated. Because of the complexity of local rules, regulations, and legislations, it will be focussed on global and European standards. The money laundering circle including its different phases will be stated as well as alternative modernised models as potential future ML or TF mechanisms such as the use of cryptocurrencies. These are covered in the second chapter. The third chapter will demonstrate the initiators and facilitators in the money laundering mechanism. The part of the initiators will be represented in this context by major transnational organised crime syndicates and terrorist groups to illustrate how initiators may look like, what objectives they have, how they operate, why money laundering is so essential to their future actions as well as how dangerous their existence is to our society. On the other hand, facilitators will involve different parties such as the role of banks, specific organisations, states, or offshore locations. It will additionally highlight how these parties benefit from money laundering and why it is such an attractive model to provide initiators with assistance services. By using real case scenarios and data of the most relevant reports, it will be emphasised in the fourth chapter what negative impact money laundering can have on the economy, society, and companies. The fifth chapter involves a comprehensive guidance on the prevention of ML including TF for corporate entities with respect to chapter 2.2, which introduced Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Counter Financing of Terrorism (CFT) legislations and several other recommendations by law enforcement units, policy makers, and AML/CFT professionals. It will cover significant mechanisms such as risk assessments, Compliance tools, Corporate Governance, Customer Due Diligence, Know Your Customer Principles, and several other preventive measures. The research project finishes with a conclusion.

Book excerpt: Adopting a multi-disciplinary and comparative approach, this book focuses on the emerging and innovative aspects of attempts to target the accumulated assets of those engaged in criminal and terrorist activity, organized crime and corruption. It examines the ’follow-the-money’ approach and explores the nature of criminal, civil and regulatory responses used to attack the financial assets of those engaged in financial crime in order to deter and disrupt future criminal activity as well as terrorism networks. With contributions from leading international academics and practitioners in the fields of law, economics, financial management, criminology, sociology and political science, the book explores law and practice in countries with significant problems and experiences, revealing new insights into these dilemmas. It also discusses the impact of the ’follow-the-money’ approach on human rights while also assessing effectiveness. The book will appeal to academics and researchers of financial crime, organized crime and terrorism as well as practitioners in the police, prosecution, financial and taxation agencies, policy-makers and lawyers.
Book Synopsis Assets, Crimes and the State by : Katie Benson
Download or read book Assets, Crimes and the State written by Katie Benson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-02-05 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Organised crime, corruption, and terrorism are considered to pose significant and unrelenting threats to the integrity, security, and stability of contemporary societies. Alongside traditional criminal enforcement responses, strategies focused on following the money trail of such crimes have become increasingly prevalent. These strategies include anti-money laundering measures to prevent ‘dirty money’ from infiltrating the legitimate economy, proceeds of crime powers to target the accumulated assets derived from crime, and counter-terrorist financing measures to prevent ‘clean’ money from being used for terrorist purposes. This collection brings together 17 emerging researchers in the fields of anti-money laundering, proceeds of crime, counter-terrorist financing and corruption to offer critical analyses of contemporary anti-assets strategies and state responses to a range of financial crimes. The chapters focus on innovative anti-financial crime measures and assemblages of governance that have become a feature of late modernity and on the ways in which individual nation states have responded to anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing requirements in light of their specific social, political, and economic contexts. This collection draws on perspectives from law, criminology, sociology, politics, and other disciplines. It adopts a much-needed international approach, focusing not only on expected jurisdictions, such as the United States and United Kingdom, but also on analysis from countries such as Qatar, Kuwait, Iran, and Nigeria. The authors stand out for their fresh and original research, which places them at the cutting edge of the subject. This book provides a comprehensive, insightful, and original study of an important and developing field for academics, students, practitioners, and policymakers in multiple jurisdictions.

Download or read book Historical Perspectives on Organized Crime and Terrorism written by James Windle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, in the context of the War on Terror and globalization, there has been an increased interest in terrorism and organized crime in academia, yet historical research into such phenomena is relatively scarce. This book resets the balance and emphasizes the importance of historical research to understanding terrorism and organized crime. This book explores historical accounts of organized crime and terrorism, drawing on research from around the world in such areas as the USA, UK, Ireland, France, Colombia, Somalia, Burma, Turkey and Trinidad and Tobago. Combining key case studies with fresh conceptualizations of organized crime and terrorism, this book reinvigorates scholarship by comparing and contrasting different historical accounts and considering their overlaps. Critical ‘lessons learned’ are drawn out from each chapter, providing valuable insights for current policy, practice and scholarship. This book is an indispensable guide for understanding the wider history of terrorism and organized crime. It maps key historical changes and trends in this area and underlines the vital importance of history in understanding critical contemporary issues. Taking an interdisciplinary approach and written by leading criminologists, historians and political scientists, this book will be of particular interest to students of terrorism/counter-terrorism, organized crime, drug policy, criminology, security studies, politics, international relations, sociology and history.

Book Synopsis Threats and Phantoms of Organised Crime, Corruption and Terrorism by : P. C. van Duyne
Download or read book Threats and Phantoms of Organised Crime, Corruption and Terrorism written by P. C. van Duyne and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the European Union is taking a giant leap towards incorporating all of the "Old Continent", Pan-European enthusiasm is dampened by lingering and newly fanned fears of such dark phenomena as organised crime, corruption and terrorism. In general, fear is a bad councillor, but it can be used as a very effective policy making tool, as is the case with organised crime and terrorism. In this fourth volume of the European Colloquium Group on Cross-border Crime, expert researchers from Central and Western Europe critically examine these anxieties, the underlying threats and the feasibility of adequate responses. They raise crucial questions, including: how does the "management of fear" operate politically, to what extent are we successful in delineating and penetrating the underlying phenomena, and are we sufficiently aware of the political costs of current strategies to counter organised crime, corruption and terrorism?

Book Synopsis Terrorist Criminal Enterprises by : Kimberley L. Thachuk
Download or read book Terrorist Criminal Enterprises written by Kimberley L. Thachuk and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This cohesive set of case studies collects scholarly research, policy evaluation, and field experience to explain how terrorist groups have developed into criminal enterprises. Terrorist groups have evolved from orthodox global insurgents funded by rogue sponsors into nimble and profitable transnational criminal enterprises whose motivations are not always evident. This volume seeks to explain how and why terrorist groups are often now criminal enterprises through 12 case studies of terrorist criminal enterprises written by authors who have derived their expertise on terrorism and/or organized crime from diverse sources. Terrorist groups have been chosen from different regions to provide the global coverage. Chapters describe and analyze the actors, actions, problems, and collaborations of specific terrorist criminal enterprises. Other elements discussed include links to such facilitating conditions as political culture, corruption, history, economy, and issues of governance. This work advances scholarship in the field of counterterrorism by expanding the understanding of these terrorist groups as entities not driven purely by ideology but rather by the criminal enterprises with which they often coincide.
Book Synopsis Global Organized Crime and International Security by : Emilio C. Viano
Download or read book Global Organized Crime and International Security written by Emilio C. Viano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published in 1999, this book focuses on organized crime as a worldwide phenomenon that has taken great advantage of enabling technology in banking, communications and transportation to build what is probably the first true 'virtual' corporation in the world. It looks at organized crime as a threat to national and international security ironically stemming, in part, from the collapse of the Soviet empire that provided an already thriving, ruthless and well-organized system of graft, corruption and crime with a new lease of life and also unleashed it on to the world scene. Organized crime is also seen as a system of transnational alliances with the potential to destabilize democratic values and institutions; distort regional, if not worldwide, economies; and subvert the international order by allying itself with terrorist organizations, rogue states and developing countries in search of rapid industrialization and market dominance.
