Terrorism and Organized Crime TraCCC Publications on Terrorism Links to Internet Resources on Terrorism Topical OverviewAs dark networks, terrorism and transnational organized crime are commonly viewed as being locked in a symbiotic relationship. Since the September 11th attacks, the Transnational Crime and Corruption Center has critically analyzed this relationship with a goal of improving our understanding of collaborative relationships when they exist. Shortly after the September 11th attacks, Dr. Shelley and Mr. Picarelli briefed House staffers on Capitol Hill and published an article in Police Practice and Research that addressed the complexity and potential for collaboration between criminals and terrorists while outlining the future research needs to improve specificity of estimates. This led to a National Institute of Justice grant that provides us the opportunity to specify the links between transnational crime and terrorism as well as consider a range of policy and practical suggestions.
