You’ll explore two aspects of organised crime. Firstly, you’lll study white-collar, financial crimes and the damaging impact that they can have on the economy of a country. Secondly, you’ll discover how organised crime can drive people trafficking and trading of drugs and illegal arms, which enables ‘rogue’ states to wage war on their own people. Finally, you’ll explore how both kinds of crime relate to your own life.
 This module offers a critical exploration of organised and international crime, including serious offences involving high-level corruption. Types of offences include people trafficking for the purposes of prostitution, child exploitation, the illegal arms and drugs trades and banking frauds including money laundering. The connections between these types of crime, including their links to funding terrorism are examined. The frequently hidden victims of such crime are considered. The characteristics of the perpetrators are considered organised and serious crime are discussed. The difficulties of policing such crime are explored in the light of powerful positions held by perpetrators, high-level corruption and political problems caused by cross-border policing.
