Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le terrorisme et la criminalité organisée, envisagés comme de "nouvelles menaces" effaçant les frontières entre menace extérieure et menace intérieure, sont souvent l'objet d'approches très simplificatrices. Cet ouvrage se propose de tenter de définir ces notions encore imprécises et d'en analyser les relations, d'effectuer un recensement des organisations diverses et multiformes auxquelles elles s'appliquent, d'évoquer les modes pluridisciplinaires d'analyse stratégique que suppose le traitement judiciaire et policier de ces phénomènes.

Book excerpt: Ce livre étudie la problématique de la criminalité transfrontalière en Afrique de l'Ouest. L'auteur essaye de démontrer que le combat contre la criminalité transfrontalière organisée nécessite l'intégration d'une nouvelle approche de la question de la souveraineté des États, de surcroît, avec le développement du numérique. Il propose des réponses de politiques criminelles articulées autour de stratégies nationales et internationales, d'une part ; et des réponses dématérialisées notamment de cybersécurité, d'autre part.

Download or read book Terrorisme criminalit organis e et d fense written by Christian Chocquet and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 1018 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La multiplication des références aux menaces nouvelles dans les études relatives à la défense invite à s'interroger sur la nature exacte des organisations criminelles et terroristes et sur leur capacité réelle à menacer les intérêts vitaux des démocraties occidentales. Les termes de « terrorisme » et de « criminalité organisée » ne faisant pas l'objet de définitions universellement reconnues, seule l'observation des phénomènes permet de conduire utilement l'analyse. L'étude des organisations et de leurs activités montre qu'elles ne sont qu'exceptionnellement en mesure de mettre en jeu les équilibres vitaux ressortissant au domaine de la défense. Il s'agit de puissances de fait dont les moyens financiers et la capacité de nuisance sont régulièrement remis en cause par les luttes internes, la concurrence des autres groupes et l'action des services répressifs. Si les plus structurées d'entre elles présentent la capacité de s'adapter en permanence et d'assurer une certaine pérennité, elles ne sont que rarement en mesure de conduire des stratégies cohérentes à long terme, ni au sein des états, ni dans la société internationale. La multiplication des activités criminelles dans la société internationale, sans relever de la défense au sens strict, justifie que les problématiques de sécurité intérieure et extérieure, autrefois totalement distinctes, fassent l'objet d'une meilleure coordination. La dimension criminelle de certains phénomènes relevant de la sécurité extérieure des états implique que l'autorité judiciaire soit davantage impliquée dans cette coopération.

Book excerpt: Terrorism and crime are two areas of knowledge that have traditionally been looked at independently. In this timely and original text, two of the leading authors in the field provide a clear and thorough look at terrorism from a criminological perspective. Integrating the latest research, the book explores the motives of criminals and terrorists, the causes of crime and terrorism and the impact of the law and the legal system. Central to this exploration, the authors examine the nexus between criminal and terrorist organizations, and the commonalities and differences between them and what this means for public policy and safety and security within states. Cross-cultural and international in perspective, this is a fresh and original text that will appeal to undergraduates, academics, and researchers in criminology, politics, international relations, sociology, communication and cultural studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dans le monde post-Guerre froide, l'hybridation est devenue la règle et non plus l'exception, générant des entités inclassables : guérillas marxistes vivant du trafic de cocaïne ; gangsters salafisés ; sectes religieuses vouées au terrorisme ; financiers à la fois spéculateurs et criminels ; paramilitaires mutant en cartels de la drogue... Dans le monde post-Guerre froide, l'hybridation est devenue la règle et non plus l'exception, générant des entités inclassables : guérillas marxistes vivant du trafic de cocaïne ; gangsters salafisés ; sectes religieuses vouées au terrorisme ; financiers à la fois spéculateurs et criminels ; paramilitaires mutant en cartels de la drogue... Tous les entrepreneurs du crime tendent aujourd'hui à changer d'ampleur et de forme. L'ère de l'hybridation a commencé... Et le terrorisme trouve ainsi des nouvelles sources de financement. Des corps hétérogènes et inconciliables font désormais symbiose. Hier, acteurs " politiques " (terrorisme, guérillas, milices, mouvements de libération) et criminels de " droit commun " (bandes, gangs, cartels, mafias) vivaient séparés dans les espaces et selon les logiques de la Guerre froide : ils fusionnent aujourd'hui sur la même scène violente et prédatrice. Jean-François Gayraud livre une analyse lucide et sans concession de ces hybrides qui bousculent toutes les certitudes héritées du XXe siècle. " La figure du "prédateur' mondialisé appelle la figure nouvelle du petit criminel global qui se présente souvent sous l'aspect plus "noble' du terroriste. Cet "hybride' prend de multiples aspects que Jean-François Gayraud décline dans une casuistique savoureuse. " Jacques de Saint Victor (préface)

Download or read book The Nexus Between Organised Crime and Terrorism written by Letizia Paoli and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2022-02-15 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the post-9/11 era, the nexus between organized crime and terrorism has raised much concern and has been widely discussed in both academic and policy circles, but is still largely misunderstood. This critical book contributes innovatively to the debate by distinguishing three types of nexus--interaction, transformation/imitation and similarities--and identifying the promoting factors of each type. With its multifaceted but complementary chapters, the book provides conceptual and theoretical frameworks for readers, as well as the evidence needed to develop more realistic, effective and humane policies to tackle organized crime, terrorism and the nexuses between them. Bringing together a range of international multidisciplinary specialists, it includes three comparative analyses of worldwide transfers of personnel, weapons and money between organized crime and terrorism and 12 case studies examining local manifestations of the nexus in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas. Two other chapters further review the national, European and international policies adopted and implemented so far to deal with the different nexuses. This book will be a valuable resource for researchers and policymakers in the fields of comparative law, criminal law and justice and public policy, who specialise in organized crime and terrorism and their control. It will also appeal to senior law enforcement officials and practitioners due to the counterintuitive policy implications drawn from the comparative analysis of the findings.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book by Lyubov Mincheva and Ted Gurr examines the political economy of transborder violence on the European Periphery that poses grave threats to domestic and international security in Europe and elsewhere. The units of analysis are unholy alliances, i.e. hybrid transborder militant and criminal networks, which have been active in the 1990s and the first decade of the 2000s. The concept of Unholy Alliances is extended to also include the trans-state criminal syndicates that arise in failed and dysfunctional states, or operate within the global illicit economy. It also addresses the question of what reigns supreme in securing the militants' long term success: money; or social endowment, including strong identity networks

Download or read book Transnational Organized Crime Terrorism and Criminalized States in Latin America written by Douglas Farah and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The emergence of new hybrid (state and nonstate) transnational criminal/terrorist franchises in Latin America operating under broad state protection now pose a tier-one security threat for the United States. Similar hybrid franchise models are developing in other parts of the world, making understanding the new dynamics an important factor in a broader national security context. This threat goes well beyond the traditional nonstate theory of constraints activity such as drug trafficking, money laundering, and human trafficking into the potential for trafficking related to weapons of mass destruction by designated terrorist organizations and their sponsors. These activities are carried out with the support of regional and extra regional states actors whose leadership is deeply enmeshed in criminal activity, which yields billions of dollars in illicit revenues every year. These same leaders have a publicly articulated, common doctrine of asymmetrical warfare against the United States and its allies that explicitly endorses as legitimate the use of weapons of mass destruction. The central binding element in this alliance is a hatred for the West, particularly the United States, and deep anti-Semitism, based on a shared view that the 1979 Iranian Revolution was a transformative historical event. For Islamists, it is evidence of divine favor; and for Bolivarians, a model of a successful asymmetrical strategy to defeat the "Empire." The primary architect of this theology/ideology that merges radical Islam and radical, anti-Western populism and revolutionary zeal is the convicted terrorist Ilich Sánchez Ramirez, better known as "Carlos the Jackal," whom Chávez has called a true visionary.

Download or read book International Counterterrorism and Organized Crime Conventions written by Usman Hameed and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-16 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delves into the complex world of international conventions on terrorism and organized crime, revealing the inherent challenges that arise when member states attempt to align these obligations with their national legal principles. Highlighting the divergence in national laws concerning criminalization and jurisdiction, the book explores the resulting obstacles in state cooperation, including the surrender of fugitives, information exchange, and forfeiture. Despite the proliferation of multilateral conventions, the author argues that effective state cooperation ultimately hinges on bilateral agreements, as national laws often lack the necessary symmetry for reciprocal modalities of cooperation. The book concludes with a compelling call for consistency in the implementation of international conventions at the national level, emphasizing that states will only embrace multilateral treaties as a basis for cooperation if they meet customary requirements and ensure similarity of laws between requesting and requested states. A must-read for scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding state cooperation in combating terrorism and organized crime.

Download or read book Understanding Recruitment to Organized Crime and Terrorism written by David Weisburd and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides insights on how recruitment patterns develop for two related types of criminal networks: organized crime and terrorism. It specifically explores the social, situational, psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. Although organized crime networks and terrorism networks can differ in underlying goals and motivations, this volume demonstrates common drivers in their recruitment, which will provide insights for crime prevention and intervention. The goal of the book is to explore the current knowledge about these common drivers, as well as highlight emerging research, to identify and prioritize a research agenda for scholars, as well as policymakers. The research presented in this work aims to fill existing gaps in the knowledge of recruitment to both organized crime and terrorism. For each area, it provides a systematic review of the existing research on social, psychological, and economic drivers of recruitment. It then presents findings from independent original research aimed to explore new ground not covered in these previous studies. The contributions to this volume were the result of a research project funded by a European Union Horizon 2020 grant, and present a diverse, international mix of expertise and cases. It will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, as well as related fields such as sociology, psychology, and international relations.
