How do police services respond to the challenges posed by the threats of organised crime in a globalised world? Modern conditions of globalisation and complexity in society have influenced and characterised criminal trends. Origins of security issues have progressively become more transnational and have consequences across national and cultural boundaries. This will be illustrated by drawing on examples from the field of cybercrime, but also from more traditional criminal sectors such as trafficking of illegal drugs and human beings. How could the police community better address these challenges and respond to these new trends?
