Transnational crime refers to illegal activities that occur across more than one country during their planning, execution, or impact, which is regarded as “the dark side of globalization” (Heine & Thakur, 2011). Taking advantage of economic liberalization, technological progress, and the freer movement of money, goods, and services, “profit-driven crime (e.g., money laundering, drug trafficking, gaming, and the sex trade) responds—much like legitimate economic activity—to local regulation by shifting to the territorial jurisdictions in which it incurs lower expected sanctions, making it most profitable for criminals” (Broude & Teichman, 2009).
