Abstract
Globalization of crime has been an important topic since the Cold War [21, 4, 13, 17, 20]. In the era of globalization, the unprecedented openness in trade, finance, travel, and communication has created economic growth [24]. At the same time, it has created opportunities for non-state actors to pose security threats to countries. Terrorist groups, insurgencies, and organized crime groups are taking advantage of globalization to conduct their illicit businesses. Organized crime is a type of non-traditional security threat that could risk the security of a nation and impact the safety of societies. Like other illicit non-state actors, organized crime could impact people, society, the state, and even a whole region. Unlike others, organized crime takes diverse forms of existence and illicit business models.
