Global Organized Crime: The New Empire of Evil (Csis Panel Report)

Society is facing an entirely new challenge that cuts across national security, economic security, law enforcement, intelligence, and corporate security: global organized crime. This CSIS report has identified some of the dimensions of the problem: information superhighway vulnerability, counterfeiting of tender and credit cards, money laundering, trade in fissionable materials, drug trafficking and terrorism, and Russian organized crime and international gang activity. Unless we understand the nature and scope of today's problems, we cannot begin to counteract them.
