EMERGING ISSUES OF TRANSNATIONAL CRIME IN AUSTRALIA1
Abstract
Transnational crimes are one of the crimes where it affects to not only within the country but
also to the other countries. This Transnational crime is also an organised crime where the crimes
are committed by particular organisations in a country. It is a threat or intimidation to the
national security of any country. The government of Australia has enacted several rules,
regulations, and Acts to identify and reduce those crimes. However, the government is facing
many issues to reduce such Transnational or organised crime. It has identified that some fresh or
new technologies, the large net of money laundering or funding to the terrorists, and unexplained
wealth of the people whether it is legitimate or not may come across to reduce such transnational
crimes in Australia. This conference paper identifies such issues, which may help to reduce such
organised and serious transnational crimes.
Background
Transnational crimes have been identified as a crime, which has a potential or actual
effect through the boarders of other countries (Cooper, 2016). The region chosen in this
conference paper is Australia. Such crimes may have been committed to intra-state, and it has
offended the fundamental or essential values of such international communities. The
transnational organised crimes (TOC) has referred to those particular crimes, which have been
carried out through any crime organisation. There are various types of Transnational crimes such
as kidnapping, drug trafficking, human slavery, human trafficking, goods smugglings,
counterfeiting goods, cyber-attacks, piracy, trading on exotic animals and may others organised
crimes. The Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) assesses organised crime in
the territory of Australia as the organised and serious crime have touched such lives of the people
of Australia in an extraordinary way (Kowalick, Connery, & Sarre, 2018). This conference paper
aims to discuss various issues in transnational crimes in the territory of Australia.
Discussion
Identification of Transnational crime in Australia
The ACIC has assessed some organised crime in the territory of Australia as enduring
and proficient organised and serious crime. It has touched the life of Australian people in various
unprecedented ways. According to this commission, it is a pervasive, destructive and complex
for the government of Australia. The Australian government have successively characterised
serious, transnational and various organised crimes as a threat or intimidation to the national
security of this country (Schmidt, 2017). The reason of such situation that it has undermined the
economy of any country and has infringed the sovereignty and boarder integrity among the
states. This organised crime has damaged the prosperity, as well as regional stability among the
nations and it has eroded social and political instructions. Such harms, which are associated with
such organised or transnational crime extent from distressing individuals on their health, as well
as other influences of illegitimate drugs and any monetary loss from any fraud. This may affect
the communities as public violence through the way of affecting such private sectors, as well as
to the government. The effects have included loss of such revenue, as well as higher costs of law
enforcement of the government of Australia.
