Title: Transnational Organized Crime: Principal Threats and U.S. Responses
Authors: John R. Wagley, Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division 
Abstract: This report examines the growing threat of transnational organized crime to U.S. national security and global stability. The end of the Cold War - along with increasing globalization beginning in the 1990s - has helped criminal organizations expand their activities and gain global reach. The report also outlines the U.S. response to international crime.
