INTERNATIONAL CRIME ESSAY – Plan

International crime is a collective term for any area of crime with international origin or consequences. Keeping criminal laws defined and contained within national boundaries is a crucial part of upholding state sovereignty, however there must be a degree of international cooperation as crime spreads across borders. The two main categories of international crime are transnational crimes and crimes against the international community. Transnational crimes have movement across an international border, such as drug or human trafficking, while crimes against the international community are regarded as serious offences that should be punished by the collective international community, such as genocide or war crimes. There are several international and domestic responses to international crime that have demonstrated differing effectiveness.

• Cooperation between governments and national agencies
  • Bilateral and multilateral treaties
