CRJ 613 Week 2 Assignment Shanice Ford CRJ 613 Comparative Criminal Justice System Jonathan Sperling 1/8/2024

Crime is a part of our everyday life unfortunately and sometimes crimes can reach from country to country. Transnational crime describes self-sustaining groups of people who operate on a global scale with the intention of gaining control, influence, financial gain, and / or commercial gain, either entirely or partially through illegal means. (Strategy to Combat Transnational Organized Crime, n.d.) In this paper I will discuss two types of transnational crimes such as Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering and the impact of international policing and investigative agencies, what they need to improve in, how the citizens can help, and the impact of the U.S. in these crimes. International policing or INTERPOL formed in 1923 is in Lyon, France. Interpol is the only intergovernmental organization for law enforcement that operates worldwide. It promotes the broadest possible mutual assistance between criminal police forces and works to establish and develop institutions likely to aid in the prevention and suppression of international crime. Interpol is an intergovernmental organization that works with the criminal police forces of over 180 countries (The Editors of Encyclopedia Britannica, 2024). Drug trafficking is a serious crime that affects us such as violence, exploitation of vulnerable individuals and exposing violence in our communities. Interpol has done things to help with those impacts such as Global operations against drug trafficking and assistance to ongoing investigations; Criminal analysis of intelligence on drug trafficking routes, modus operandi and the criminal networks involved; Comprehensive training for police worldwide to better tackle drug trafficking (Our Role in Fighting Drug Trafficking, n.d.). One of the positive things that Interpol and investigative agencies are doing well is the development of seven Global Policing Goals that are designed to address issues related to crime and security. One of the seven Global Policing Goals is the increase of border security worldwide and that is very beneficial to drug trafficking when they

are attempting to move the drugs from one country to another. Another goal for them is tackle corruption and financial crimes. With drug trafficking money laundering goes hand in hand. The illegal money obtains from drug trafficking needs to look like it was legally obtained. Interpol does not arrest so their relationship with law enforcement is very important. There are certain areas that Interpol can improve in such as politics and not staying neutral stance. They have also face criticism on moving on behalf of apoltical stand. Individuals can also help and have an impact on the help of transnational crimes. Becoming more aware of the diverse types of crimes and how it affects us. For drug trafficking always inform law enforcement of suspected activities that you may encounter. Especially in high drug areas. Another controversy solution would be to legalize the sale of drugs and then tax it .To stop money laundering bank and law enforcement should have regular meetings to report suspicious activity. If money laundering is happening banks would know before law enforcement would. Therefore the communication between banks and law enforcement is vital. Also the advancement of technology and training of bank officials to recognize the different signs and patterns. There are some warning signs that drug trafficking is around us. We should pay attention to heavy traffic in certain houses , traffic such as foot and cars. Lots of loitering in the area and people just constantly hanging out. Another sign would be smells from the house and possibly needles or drug bags. Alo look at the condition of the house is the windows black out and does the house look well kept. If any of the signs are spotted you should notify law enforcement. One way to spot money laundering is a sudden increase of cash and unexpected payout of items that you purchase. Best example would be an very early payout of a home.
