The book is divided into 2 sections: Part 1: Unconventional Organized Crime Landscape Part 2: Cyber space and organised crime Transnational unconventional organized crime pose a significant and growing threat to national and global security affecting public safety, human security, public health, economic and governmental stability. Not to mention the contributions transnational organized crime makes to terrorist financing. The adaptive nature of transnational organized crime group as well as terrorist and insurgent organizations makes them capable of innovating in real-time to exploit natural disasters, social crisis and global pandemics. Currently with the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic, transnational organized crime has flourished taking advantage of the unprecedented opportunities for illicit activities. For example as reported in TRACIT (2020) : Worldwide reports indicate a surge in the availability and type of fraudulent medical products intended to exploit the fears of consumers, which includes illicit offerings of falsified versions of treatments such as Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin that will harm or kill already vulnerable patients. Joint operations by the World Customs Organization, Europol and Interpol have resulted in a significant increase in seizures of counterfeit and unauthorized face masks and hand sanitizers. 410 0$aAdvanced Sciences and Technologies for Security Applications,$x2363-9466 606 $aSecurity, International 606 $aOrganized crime 606 $aTransnational crime 606 $aInternational Security Studies 606 $aOrganized Crime 606 $aTransnational Crime 615 0$aSecurity, International. 615 0$aOrganized crime. 615 0$aTransnational crime. 615 14$aInternational Security Studies. 615 24$aOrganized Crime. 615 24$aTransnational Crime. 676 $a327.116 700 $aKaunert$b Christian$01203940 701 $aLéonard$b Sarah$01845481 701 $aMasys$b Anthony J$01783724 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911022352303321 996 $aTransnational Unconventional Organized Crime: A National and Global Security Concern$94431582 997 $aUNINA
