Transnational Organized Crime:
The International Response
Much attention has been devoted to transnational terrorism over the past decade – and rightly so. Yet there is another transnational threat which has been expanding exponentially, but with a much lower profile:
Transnational Organized Crime or TOC.
Governments in North America, Europe and Asia
have recognized that this transnational threat can only be defeated through transnational
cooperation.
This issue of HRISQ features the full text reports from the Transatlantic
and the Transpacific conferences on international cooperation against TOC, as well
as the official US Strategy for Combating TOC.

The War of Varus: Judea Rises Against Rome in 4 BC
By Sidney E. Dean
Judean King Herod I had been Rome’s “man in Palestine”, faithfully serving the empire’s interests in the Levant. His sponsorship of pagan temples and Roman symbols, extending even to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, alienated most Jews, but Roman legions based in Syria and Egypt stood ready to support Herod if the need arose.
Following Herod’s death in 4 BC several insurgencies erupted throughout Judea. Some were patriotic or religious in nature, while others were led by opportunists. All aimed to cast off Roman hegemony. Publius Quintilius Varus, Roman governor of Syria, led three legions and a host of Arab auxiliaries south. His campaign would become known as one of the greatest calamities to ever befall the Jewish people. More Information / To Order
