A Global Centre of Excellence

Transnational crime is increasingly sophisticated and requires a sophisticated response – one that employs new knowledge, skills, technologies and operational mandates. The Centre for Transnational Crime Prevention (CTCP), Faculty of Law was established in 2000 by the University of Wollongong to tackle the ever progressive threat of transborder crime.

The research and teaching Centre focuses on responses to organised criminal activities that impact on regional and global security, including narcotics production, trafficking of firearms and people, smuggling, terrorism, fraud & money laundering, corruption, cybercrime, paedophile activity, natural resources poaching, illegal shipment of hazardous waste and identity theft.

The Centre is founded on the precept that the jurisdictional, operational, legal and political complexities of countering transnational crime demand a unique, multi disciplinary response.
