Investigate crimes that cross national borders in: SAGE Reference's Encyclopedia of Transnational Crime and Justice

Los Angeles (May 1, 2012) Crimes such as human trafficking, smuggling, and terrorism that involve border crossings as an integral part of the criminal activity can significantly affect both countries. Once that border is crossed, the crime becomes a transnational crime, complete with unique domestic and international policing and prosecution challenges.

Exploring all the essential aspects of both transnational crime and transnational justice is SAGE Reference's new Encyclopedia of Transnational Crime and Justice. This one-volume resource, available in both print and electronic formats, describes, defines, and charts transnational crimes and criminal activity, as well as the policing and prosecution of those crimes, in 150 signed, A-to-Z entries, helpfully organized in a Reader's Guide with the following key topic headings:

  • Corruption
  • Crimes and Criminal Markets
  • Definitions, Changing Concepts, and Impact of Transnational Crime
  • Geography of Transnational Crime
  • Modes of Operation and Facilitators for Crime
  • Policing and Intelligence Organizations
  • Sources of Data and Research on Transnational Crime
  • The State as an Instigator of Crime
  • Strategies of Law Enforcement and Justice
  • Structure and Membership of Criminal Operations
  • Terrorism

In addition to the entries, written by a variety of respected scholars in the field, the Encyclopedia of Transnational Crime and Justice also features Cross References, a Chronology, a Glossary, a Resource Guide, and an Appendix (which features websites to facilitate additional research on the topic). This resource belongs on the reference shelves of all academic and public libraries that serve students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in Criminology and Criminal Justice, Politics, International Relations, and Sociology. A FREE 30-day online trial of this title is available at www.sagepub.com/freetrial.

Editor Margaret E. Beare is professor of sociology and law at York University in Canada.
