Transnational Gangs’ Threat to Local Communities- Transnational criminal organization
This activity will assist you in understanding the transnational gang threat to cities throughout the United States.
Respond to the following, three questions here:
- The U.S. has identified MS 13 as a transnational criminal organization (TCO). What effect will that have, if any, on how this gang is dealt with. Also, why these guys and why now? Make a note that OMGs have been international almost since their inception, and yet we've not identified them as a TCO, why the difference you think?

2. Additionally, at an ACJS meeting, some years ago, a presenter made the argument that when it comes to investigating, prosecuting, even cooperation re: transnational crimes, almost everything is voluntary. That is, whatever relationships, information, investigation, cooperation, etc. is done voluntarily. What does this mean for addressing the transnational crime problem?
3. There was also a great line in one of the Mission: Impossible movies where the head of British Intelligence said "there are no allies in statecraft, only common interests." What impact does this have on the transnational fight against gangsters? Is the head of British Intelligence in MI-5 right?
