Transnational crimes, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, cybercrime, and terrorism, cross borders and impact multiple countries. These crimes are fueled by economic, social, and political factors and are exacerbated by globalization. International cooperation and legal frameworks, like the UNTOC, are vital in addressing these crimes. Education and community engagement play key roles in prevention.
