In order for transnational crimes to be adequately addressed, there must be convergence between international treaties and national laws. In other words, nations must agree to share some laws and practices pertaining to transnational crime and prosecution. Why has achieving this goal been difficult despite international treaties? What social, political, economic, and/or cultural factors have made implementing a universal policy pertaining to transnational crimes possible?
What will be an ideal response?
Students may discuss how transnational crime cannot be defined clearly due to different cultural norms, values, and ways of living. Styles of life and economic well-being also shape the definition of crime and willingness to criminalize behaviors (poverty). Countries with poor infrastructure cannot enforce which makes universal agreement difficult. Students may also address how supply and demand prevent a commitment to ending certain transnational crimes.
