Treverton and all define crime and terrorism as illegal activities that largely revolve around economic interests. The document accurately describes how "organized crime seeks money and why terrorism needs it." Furthermore, according to the authors, the definitions of crime presented by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the United Nations (UN) and the International Police (INTERPOL) coincide in some terms regarding the essence of organized crime. All of these individuals identify keywords within their definitions as groups of individuals working under illegal, for-profit structures. On the other hand, the article highlights the importance of the effects that globalization and Information Technology (IT) have provided to the development and expansion of the different declinations of organized crime and terrorism. Indeed, new technologies in communications have provided secure environments and secrecy to criminals and terrorists. IT offers numerous alternatives for transmitting information through secure virtual spaces such as so-called "virtual dead drops". Furthermore, the Internet not only provides a valuable source of material supply, but also serves as a secure channel for the indoctrination and recruitment of criminals and terrorists. Although Treverton and colleagues point out that terrorism is not very costly and list relatively low-cost examples such as the Madrid terrorist attack in 2004 or the London bombings in 2005; other experts such as Ehrenfeld dispute this claim and suggest that "the maintenance and expansion of terrorist bases require continuous infusions of large amounts of money." It would therefore be important for the document to distinguish between the costs of running a land......paper......drugs, kidnapping and extortion (in that order, perhaps 250 million dollars in total)' . It could therefore be said that the FARC has undergone a radical transformation from a rebel movement into a well-known narco-terrorist organization that has oriented its efforts towards the commercialization of cocaine and the carrying out of regular criminal activities. To conclude, the document presents interesting information on the definitions, motivations, similarities and differences between organized crime and terrorism. Furthermore, it accurately describes the effects of globalization and IT in the expansion and strengthening of criminal and terrorist organizations. However, the document has some outdated information and other inaccurate details that may cause it to lose objectivity. Nonetheless, the document provides background information for scholars and security experts.
