Content
This unit examines global crime challenges representative of 21st century policing and security. The unit focuses on emerging trends in terrorism and transnational crime as well as policing responses, both in Australia and globally. It examines definitions, contemporary histories, different forms and methods of terrorism and transnational organised crime. These include a particular focus on the increasing complexity of transnational crimes enabled via networked communications and technologies and consideration of how the ways in which these crime problems have shaped policing and security. The unit deals with these issues in relation to law, perceptions of risk, uses of intelligence and the nature of security in an age of uncertainty. It also examines important conceptual and practical issues concerning how societies can address a broad range of transnational crime risks, but asks students to think critically about the different costs and benefits associated with attempts to prevent and respond to global crime.
