“…As argued by scholars (Broadhurst et al, 2014;Kleemans and van de Bunt, 2008;Kleemans and de Poot, 2008;Van Duyne, 2000;Makarenko, 2004), the motivation behind 'careers' in organised crimes (especially in trafficking activities and in organised forms of cyber crime) can be the most varied involving quests for power, control, sexual gratification, desire for notoriety and political ideology. Research in the country over the past two-three decades shows how organised crimes can include a variety of offences that can differ in seriousness (Edwards and Levi, 2008;Campbell, 2014).…”

National security vs criminal law. Perspectives, doubts and concerns on the criminalisation of organised crime in England and Wales. Abstract:This paper will interpret and critically analyse the new offence for organised crime in England and Wales (Section 45 of the Serious Crime Act 2015) from a criminological perspective in light of evidence found in research in the country. It will argue that changes in the law relate to changes in political narratives rather than to variations in the criminal panorama of organised crime. It will discuss these changes within three perspectives, which address various levels of concern: a narrative perspective, which reflects on the overlapping of meanings in the use of the words 'organised crime'; an evolution perspective, which reflects on the origins of the new participation offences with reference to both national and international pressures; a management perspective, which reflects on some of the immediate effects of the new offences of organised crime on the criminal justice system. This paper will conclude that political narratives have indeed influenced criminal policy, while there is no significant change in the phenomenon of organised crime to justify such narratives.

“…They travel to areas where they are not in danger of being extradited, and conduct their operations in states suffering from ineffective and corrupt law enforcement, and also do money laundering in countries which have bank secrecy or/and few effective controls (Shelley, 2015, March 29). Makarenko (2004) reports that terrorists are proficient at drug trafficking concerning operation and organization. The reason behind this achievement is rooted in the groups' structural similarities.…”

However, while the development of legal trade is normally regulated by adhering to the policies of border control, bureaucratic systems and customs officials, the international crime groups freely take advantage of the loopholes of legal systems of some countries to expand their reach.…”

ECO member states are among a big producer of opium and heroin in the world and all trafficking routes used for trafficking illicit drugs to the world pass through ECO countries. On the other hand many insurgent groups are actively involved in illicit drug trafficking. ECO's Main objective is economic development in its region and directly unproductive profit seeking activities such as drug trafficking and insurgency is tight barrier to reach this goal. The aim of this research is to investigate the correlation between drug trafficking and insurgency in ECO region and identify the reasons for this connection to cope with this problem. There are various theories, which attempt to explain the relationship between drug trafficking and insurgency. Generally speaking, it appears that it is not sensible to lump organized crime groups, who conduct drug trafficking, and terrorist groups together in ECO area. Although there are some links between them, they have essential motivational and operational discrepancies.
