Book description

Cargo crime including theft, fraud, and the passage of contraband through commercial shipping lanes poses an enormous threat to security and the economy. This volume reviews emerging trends, identifies criminal tactics, discusses law enforcement response to cargo theft, and presents best practices to help businesses avoid victimization by cargo thieves. The book identifies the various modes of freight transportation and the differences in cargo crime activity in each mode. It examines the effective use of public and private information-sharing partnerships to thwart criminal activities and presents known profiles consistent in over 90 percent of contraband shipments.
