1. Explain the seven forms of transnational criminality that are in the wheel of terrorism, and explain their relationship to terrorism.
First we have illicit drug trafficking where we find a great deal of terrorist activities involved because it gives them an easy access to large funds of money. Money laundering is also a part of transnational criminality where we get drug money transformed into clean money. Infiltration of legal business is when we have the dirty money transferred to clean money by establishing a business to pretend that the money is coming from legitimate sources. Computer crime is where we use cyberspace to get informations through the internet and also to transfer funds. Illicit arms trafficking is where we have a clandestine market to sell arms mostly to terrorists. Trafficking in persons is when we use slave work by smuggling immigrants to our country and getting them involved in criminal activities. Finally we have destruction of cultural property where we get terrorists destroying cultural symbols.
2. Explain the similarities and differences between deviance and crime, and provide examples.
Deviance is when we have someone violating social norms and laws. An example would be a house burgarly. Crime is when we have a human behavior violating a criminal law where we give a punishment. An example would be speeding tickets.
3. Contrast the consensus model and conflict model of law and crime. Consensus model is where we have model of criminal lawmaking that assumes that members of society agree on what is right and wrong and that law is the codification of agreed-upon social values. While a conflict model is where the criminal justice system is seemed as being used by the ruling class to control the lower class.
