Politicians and policymakers frequently use militarised responses to look tough on crime. The deployment of armies, navies, military assets and militarised approaches can send a powerful message, but have produced mixed results. While they generate the perception that governments are actively engaged on issues of concern to the public, and in some cases have resulted in notable successes, on the downside they have frequently also increased the loss of life, exacerbated the humanitarian consequences of a particular crime and entrenched divides between security and state institutions and the criminal proponents, narrowing the possibilities for future negotiated solutions. By focusing on four different areas of criminality - wildlife crime, piracy, migration and drug trafficking - the book allows context and evidence-based conclusions to be drawn on the strategic value and commonality of responses and their outcomes. 606 $aPolitics and war 606 $aTransnational crime 606 $aOrganized crime 606 $aMilitary and Defence Studies 606 $aTransnational Crime 606 $aOrganized Crime 615 0$aPolitics and war. 615 0$aTransnational crime. 615 0$aOrganized crime. 615 14$aMilitary and Defence Studies. 615 24$aTransnational Crime. 615 24$aOrganized Crime. 676 $a355 702 $aReitano$b Tuesday$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aJesperson$b Sasha$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBird Ruiz-Benitez de Lugo$b Lucia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300489903321 996 $aMilitarised Responses to Transnational Organised Crime$91992170 997 $aUNINA
