Description: The origins & perceptions of transnational organised crime are discussed in this book. The authors contend that the ways in which such crime is constructed as an 'external' threat obscures the reality that such crime is demand driven & they question whether law enforcement alone can contain it.
Notes: Originally presented Feb. 1999-Feb. 2001 at a series of six seminars organized under the heading of Policy responses to transnational organised crime.
