Transnational organized crime as a destructive phenomenon of globalization

Abstract

The article examines the problems associated with the impact of globalization on the state of crime and the factors of modernglobal processes that shape it’s destructive phenomenon – transnational organized crime. The study concluded that globalization ofcrime is now the main trend of it’s criminal transformation; transnational organized crime is a real step towards criminalization of society.Therefore, it is quite reasonable to assert that the formation of a transnational criminal environment is an antipode for a law-abidingsociety. The main factors of criminalization of society include: value-vacuum (weak state and the lack of values in society – this is theworst combination for society and the most advantageous for the progress of crime); informational influence, which justifies and legi -timizes criminal phenomenon; involvement people to the criminal society; instability. Besides improper state development leads to ocial non-adaptability, stratification of society. The modern “globalized progress”, that focused on alleged human values destroys thenormative base by legal, quasi-legal and criminal actions. Such transformation of society is the source for the transformation of organi -zed crime.It is actually nowadays to develop the fundamentally new attitude to the study of transnational crime, – sociocultural attitude,which can be based on such a postulate – the factors of the development of transnational criminal organizations associated with theemergence of appropriate opportunities at the global level.During exploring the transnational organized crime as a phenomenon that paradoxically is created by socio-cultural developmentof human civilization, firstly, it is necessary to understand that this phenomenon is a completely separate segment of crime, which hasit’s own and system characteristics.Secondly, the scientific definition of the features of transnational organized crime should be based on an analysis of it’s systemicinteractions, which will enable to solve the problem of developing and implementing a national and consolidated concept of combatingtransnational organized crime at the international level.

Combating the financing of terrorism in the conditionsof military aggression on the territory of Ukraine

“…Considerable attention was paid to the study of various aspects of manifestations of terrorism (terrorist activity) and counteraction to this phenomenon by domestic and foreign scientists and practitioners (Tkach, 2013;Malyy, 2016;Tierney, 2018;Zharovska, 2019;Morse, 2019;Wall, 2020). However, their research in this area does not exhaust all aspects of international legal countermeasures to the financing of terrorism, in particular military terrorism, as a certain system of war crimes and military practices connected with it, the manifestations of which are extremely relevant at the current stage of Ukrainian resistance to Russian terror.…”
