I think that this term should also devote some attention to critical perspectives on transnational organized crime. There is considerable scholarship that would contest this entry as functionalist 'cowboy' criminology. This view suggests simply that there are bad guys out there and good guys who get them. A critical perspective steps back not once but twice (Cohen, 1988, Against Criminology, Newbrunswick NJ.: Transaction Publishers, p. ix). It makes a distinction between three orders of reality in the subject of criminology - first the 'thing' itself (crime and the apparatus of its control); second research and speculation about this thing (description, classification, causal theory, normative and technical solutions to crime as a 'problem'); and third, reflection about the nature of the enterprise itself.

I've never seen a bigger bunch of bumwad in my life as this load of wank purporting to be an encyclopedia article.

NOTE - I agree with the substance of the above comment, if not its phrasing - this is a really BAD Wikipedia entry, mostly made up of meaningless academic mumbo-jumbo. Instead it could have useful information - descriptions of UN and other international work and organizations and conventions, for example. I would recommend deleting much of its substance (specifically, everything under "Critical Perspectives" and "Deconstructing"), as possibly suited for somebody's grad school paper but not at all suitable for Wikipedia. 169.253.194.1 (talk) 14:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Updating Sections/Adding new sections

Hello everyone, I've been working on adding new sources, rephrasing some paragraphs and adding new sections to the article. I noticed this article focuses plenty on government response and on institutions created to deal with TOCs but there isn't a whole lot of content defining them or explaining their emergence or the conditions required for their proliferation. Only the history section talks about them briefly in this context. I'm adding a section that explains their emergence during globalization bit more detail. Later I'm going to add a definition section as well as a "types" section since its probably a good idea to specify the variety of crimes that considered transnational. the lead included a couple of the more important ones but TOCs have a wide scope. I'm also adding a "relation to terrorism" later considering there's much overlap and connection but terrorist groups aren't necessarily TOCs. My sandbox has most of the things I'm thinking about adding. Let me know if there's any question. - Brandoflo97 — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrandoFlo1997 (talk • contribs) 00:25, 11 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
