Module 13 What’s Next…
Use this section to wrap up the current module and prepare for what comes next.
Transition to the Next Module
As we near the end of the semester, our focus expands beyond local and national criminal justice issues to examine crime on a global scale. While previous modules explored the structure and operation of the American criminal justice system, the next module examines how criminal organizations operate across international borders and the challenges they create for law enforcement agencies worldwide.
Looking Ahead
In the next module, you will explore transnational organized crime and its impact on global and regional criminal justice systems. You will examine the structure and activities of major international criminal organizations and analyze how these groups contribute to crime across national boundaries. You will also investigate human trafficking as a significant form of organized crime, exploring the role of criminal networks, the financial incentives that sustain these operations, and the challenges associated with combating them. Through these activities, you will develop a deeper understanding of the importance of international cooperation, intelligence sharing, and coordinated enforcement efforts in addressing complex criminal enterprises.
Activities for the upcoming module include:
- Assigned textbook and course readings
- PowerPoint lecture presentation
- Active Engagement Activity (Prep Activity or Online Discussion)
- Writing Assignment
How to Prepare

Final Reminder
