Product Review
Liddick's intent is to provide not a theoretical analysis of transnational crime but a concise introduction to its scope, magnitude, and impact.The future is grim, as the only solutions offered as viable include widening surveillance and crime control measures, which inevitably endanger civil liberties. Recommended. All levels/libraries.
Choice[C]overs everything from Chinese Triads to Russian crime syndicates, to terrorism, to Nigerian con artists.

Product Review
"Liddick gives a well-informed, and refreshingly 'cool' overview of the transnational crime and terrorist threats facing the USA and of the domestic counter measures taken by the American government so far. One cannot but wholeheartedly agree with the author that national responses, however bold, need to be supplemented by more international cooperation in law enforcement and criminal justice. A most welcome introduction into the new debate on global security." - Jan Van Dijk, Chief Crime Reduction and Analysis Branch, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Vienna
