The asymmetrical theory by Naim says that the differences between the government and that of transnational crime creates asymmetry (Naim,2005). Different government agencies are organized in a hierarchical relationship that functions consistently from the top to the bottom (Naim,2005). Governments must often follow legal processes that take up time and cost money. These governments are forced to follow budget constraints, as well as legal and political reservation (Naim,2005). These governments must operate within the control of their constitution. In comparison, these transnational crime groups operate in less harsh structures, and are able to have more flexibility in their decision-making, as well as have unlimited funds available to them. The government’s

Sacco and Vanzetti were arrested in 1920, and put on trial in 1921. They were tried in a small, quiet suburb with a lawyer who was deemed an outsider compared to his peers. These men were unfairly taken out of their comfort zone during their trial. They even needed to use a translator because they could not fully understand the questions they were being asked. Obviously, they were found guilty at the end of the trial. They were killed on August 23, 1927. They were mainly executed on the premise of their race, religion and political background. During the trial, the eyewitnesses

It is generally known that police corruption, the use of police power to acquire personal and organizational benefits, can be easily found in Thailand just like a disease (Carter, 1990). From the statistics, the corruption especially bribery is committed by almost all police organization; in year 2013, it is surveyed that the cost of corruption is roughly $8.6 Billion, 10 percent of Thailand overall investment and budget (Arunmas, 2014).

For instance, rice-pledging scheme, Thailand policy assisting the farmer with the capital, is corrupted, and

There is no doubt that globalization, the rapid spread of technology and information, has evolved and created an opportunity for crimes to be planned in one country and executed all the way across the world. Technological advances of the 21st century, created by globalization, have fostered new transnational organized crimes (TOC). These criminals are profit motivated by criminal actions of an international nature. Many of these crimes include drug trafficking, smuggling of migrants, human trafficking, money-laundering, trafficking in firearms, and counterfeit goods. These crimes undermine economic, social, cultural, political and civil development of countries around the world due to vast sums of money created by TOC. In addition, TOC also threatens peace and security leading to human rights violations directly impacting many countries’ ability to govern its citizens. With weak governments, TOC creates corruption making government officials more susceptible to these criminal activities.

Police corruption is not a problem that is based only in one country, but a problem all over the world (Newburn, 1999). Police corruption is happening in major countries from the

Misha Glenny, looked at why transnational crime exist and what organizations and or relationships help it flourish. These relationships that Glenny is discussing can be formed with citizens, law enforcement, and even government officials, who partake in transnational crimes(Glenny,2008). The relationships that are formed with transnational crime allows countries to become richer and created a way for countries to thrive after the economy market was threatened (Glenny,2008). All in all, this means that they have created a reciprocal relationship, meaning that those who are involved, benefit from participating in these crimes. The policy implication for this theory, is to fix the broken system, that in which is our government justice agency, so they can function

These advances have made national borders more permeable and allowed for an increased movement of people and goods, this suggests that no country is safe from the incidence of transnational crime (Finckenauer 2005). In comparison to even ten years ago, goods and services are moving much faster across national boundaries and businesses are having much more contact with other countries than ever before (Finckenauer 2005). This gives criminals the ability extend their reach internationally in supplying the public with their desires. It however makes the work of law enforcement difficult because boarders obstruct the law through difference between countries, this only creates opportunities for criminals especially when laws and enforcement differ and lessen between countries (Bjelopera & Finklea 2012).

Transitional criminal organizations have negatively impact the global economy. In 2009, these groups generated $810 billion due to their criminal activities which is equal to 1.5% of the global GDP United (Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, 2013). Their crimes have undermined many nations’ abilities to provide a quality of life to its citizens and the stability of many financial institutions. Overall, it allows for the uneven distribution of wealth and power of the globalization process.

The transitional crime groups which perpetrate international security threats have diverse networks, whose operational offices are mainly located in failed states( Shahar, 2007). Thus, corruption and unmonitored state operations can lead to encourage transnational insecurity, thus challenging the traditional security concerns.

Organized Crime is considered a major threat to the development and security of their country. They gain profit through the evaluation of countries risks, benefits, and markets, and have taken to multiple forms of corruption to invade political, economic, and social levels not only in their own country, but in the world.

There are many different groups that fall under this category such as human trafficking, money laundering, blackmailing, kidnapping, smuggling and drug trafficking amongst others.

After filing a complaint, she was so much harassed by the police that it led to her eventual suicide. But Rathore was convicted on Dec 21, 2009 - after two decades of the crime. It is because the accused was given this much time that he could gather false evidences resulting in lingering of the case for two decades. Another instance is the 1993 Mumbai Blast case. One of the accused and well-known bollywood actor, Sanjay Dutt, was convicted after a long period on 2013. The acquittal of congress leader Sajjan Kumar in 1984 riot case again proves the hold of nefarious politicians, whose sole raison d’être is amassing power and money, over the court’s judgement.
