Women and Transnational Organized Crime: Elements for a Discussion Paper on Women in the Criminal Justice System
While it will obviously continue to be important to examine how the criminal justice system can help prevent exploitative behaviour and various traditional forms of violence against women, the growing threat posed by transnational organized crime makes it necessary to specifically consider the issue of womens access to protection against organized crime. Women certainly do not currently receive the level of protection they are entitled to expect from the criminal justice system against the many forms of exploitation and violence they suffer at the hands of transnational criminal organizations. Furthermore, the impact that criminal law, the criminal justice process and crime prevention strategies generally have on women s lives continue to deserve urgent and careful scrutiny.
