According to this peer-reviewed source there exist various shared crime challenges that
adversely face many nations across the world. It is therefore important for human rights
defenders to understand and develop meaningful strategies to act as responses in curbing
transnational organized crime is mainly related to both economic and social harm (Albanese
2011,p.55). This particular resource is important as it offers a directive in answering my
research question through emphasizing in the need for nations and human right organizations to
dictate its own state legal affairs without external interference. In this way, they will be able to
devise ways of transnational cooperation and reconciliation on matters involving legal, policing,
long term, strategies' and punishment concepts between various states regarding the rule of law
and criminal justice.

controversies and national crime in society. It offers ley contemporary and theoretical
approaches to globalization and organizes criminal activities and criminal justice (Freidrichs

which global inequality usually determine contemporary organized criminal operations control
strategies and the existing notion regarding the deprivation of human rights and social exclusion.
According to Freidrichs (2010) some of the social vices dealt with include huge human and drug
trafficking issues. Conversely, utilizing strategies to fight crime improve the economic sector,
political and neoliberalism concepts is very crucial.

ensure crime is highly regulated .This video resource is helpful since it offers a clear
understanding of the various techniques and policies enacted in fighting transnational crime and
ensuring criminal justice. It is, therefore, best suited for my research question as it discusses
these factors in a detailed and comprehensive manner.

This is a comprehensive guide which contributes to research topics involving challenges faced
while examining white collar crimes, the main focus of criminal activities and the required legal

collar crime-related activities highlighted include salary theft, fraud, corruption, and bribery
schemes, forgery of important documents, theft involving personal identity, cybercrimes, cash
laundering activities and embezzlement of office funds (Vlassis & Williams,2013. Therefore this
resource is important in helping me get a clear understanding of best answering this research
question. This is because it offers a clear overview of the need to acquire strategies required to
curb these white collar crimes in order to ensure that individuals who are innocent do not suffer
in the hands of malicious people.

Consular Relations in various countries such as Australia, New Zealand, and the US through
utilization of a technique to evaluate the land law on criminal justice. Haken (2011) suggests that
its main contribution involves discussing on the significance of defendant centered criminology
of existing law in a bid to extensively evaluate the establishment of key global legal needs into
practice (Kennedy & Warren 2018, p.100). This particular resource will help me answer the
research question since it puts an emphasis on the critical evaluation of global responses to
crimes by foreign individuals. It also offers knowledge and a wide range of criminological

strategies that help on reflection and decision making in enacting policies that solve international
crimes and maintain a balance between fundamental human rights and criminal justice.

source should be utilized so as to capture international relation laws that will handle crimes.
