ABSTRACT
Transnational organized crime, especially terrorism, evokes strong emotions with fear taking the driver's seat, throwing rational, logical, comprehension of reality overboard. This chapter attempts to undertake an analytical interpretation of the management of organized crime. It focuses on American Policy and its impact on the policies of the United Nations (UN) to manage organized crime, presenting a frame for understanding violence, and focuses briefly on issues of concern for India. Global policy and the strategy for control over organized crime are formulated largely in line with the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime. Situations of conflict are often addressed by ensuring a continued presence of armed forces — at times the enforced peace can continue for decades. There is limited space for member nation states overpowered by the financial clout of multinational corporations or trans-national or national corporations to even think of corporate crime or to take steps to rein in the same.
