Abstract
The development of information and communication technology (ICT), in providing opportunities for improved communication for both legitimate and criminal purposes, impedes traditional law enforcement strategies directed towards the disruption of criminal activities. This chapter introduces the research problem to be addressed by the remaining chapters: that the development of ICT and its use for illegitimate purposes presents a key vulnerability that can be exploited by law enforcement agencies (LEAs). Transnational organized crime (TOC) and corruption take advantage of modern information and communication technologies to communicate and in doing so communication interception technology (CIT) has become a crucial weapon in the fight against TOC and corruption. This chapter introduces the elements addressed throughout the book, explaining the underpinning research methodology, scope and limitations.KeywordsTransnational Organize CrimeInterception ActivityOfficial CorruptionCriminal PurposeData Collection PlanThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
