  • CJ 350 - Organized and Transnational Crime

    The course begins with an examination of organized crime in the United States, including how it differs from other categories of crime, its history, the social context in which it occurs, and the political and legal responses to organized crime. Thereafter, the focus switches to transnational crime, including current trends such as the illegal drug trade, cybercrime, money laundering and human trafficking. Throughout the semester, we examine how organized and transnational crime are depicted in popular culture, including film.
