El concepto de criminalidad organizada transnacional: problemas y propuestas

Abstract

This paper delves into the understanding of the transnational organized crime concept, given the lack of agreement on its content and deficiency of regulation. It is a typical concept of the complexity of postmodernism; therefore it presupposes previous concepts such as organized crime. Given its configuration beyond the regulations from particular States and the need to understand very different behaviors, it is characterized by its fluidity and not necessarily certain limits. Its determination is even more complicated because the social reality coincides with other criminal phenomena. However, it is necessary some minimal agreements to raise a common criminal policy among states. I will focus on the problems and proposals the transnational nature of the crimes committed by international criminal organizations.
