Survey of Practitioners to Assess the Local Impact of Transnational Crime, Task Order Final Report

摘要

With the recent terrorist attacks on America and high profile cases of international computer crime and illegal trafficking in drugs and other goods, the Nation's law enforcement agencies are acutely aware of the imminent challenge of dealing with transnational criminal and terrorist organizations. In the project described in this report, NIJ sought to develop an exploratory, national survey to obtain data on transnational crime activity, perceptions of the problems these activities pose for local law enforcement and the resources needed to address these problems, and interagency communication and collaboration. Due to resource limitations, this report is restricted to a review of the literature, a description of research method development and data collection, and a descriptive overview of responses to the survey.
