Summary:

Discusses how law enforcement conceptualizes organized crime in the 21st Century; and analyzes how organized crime has capitalized on globalization by using borders as opportunities, relying on developments in technology, and adapting its organizational structures. Illustrates how these transformations can impact individuals, businesses, and U.S. interests. Examines potential issues for Congress, including extent to which organized crime is a national security threat, Congressional oversight regarding Federal coordination of organized crime investigations, and utility of current resources appropriated to combat organized crime.
