Now published, the Routledge Handbook of Transnational Criminal Law focuses on the prosecution and regulation of cross-border crimes, from exploitation crimes, such as human trafficking and child sex tourism, to commodity crimes, such as drug trafficking and weapons smuggling, to organizational crimes, such as money laundering, cybercrime, and organized crime, as well as piracy and terrorism.
Bringing together 25 experts from around the world, and edited by Professors Neil Boister and Robert J. Currie, this new book also examines the means for securing cross-border cooperation in the fight against transnational crime, with U of A law professor Joanna Harrington accepting the invitation from the editors to write the chapter on extradition, alongside chapters on jurisdiction, police cooperation, and asset recovery.
With the growing interest in tackling the suppression and prevention of crimes that cross borders, the Routledge Handbook of Transnational Criminal Law is expected to become an invaluable reference work for students, academics, lawyers and policy makers. News of the book's publication has already been picked up by the International Law Reporter.
