| Summary/Abstract |
A review of literature on sex trafficking since 2000 reveals that numerous articles have been published in scholarly journals but few are based on systematic primary data collection. Much of our current knowledge, including statistical estimates and characteristics of the trafficking business, derives from a handful reports issued by government and non-government agencies. With few empirical studies available, imagination seems to have filled the gaps of our knowledge. The problem was further complicated by a manifest (sometimes subtle) moral crusading agenda aimed at a deep-rooted and hotly debated social practice.
Also noticeable in the literature is an increasing number of authors who have begun to challenge the empirical premises claimed by these published reports. These sceptical authors find that many articles of questionable quality have been published in peer-reviewed journals, and claim that the current discourse on human trafficking is driven by mythology rather than empirical research.
Rather than dwelling on gaps in our knowledge or concerns over the moral overtone in academic research, this paper seeks to raise specific research questions and explore possible field strategies that can advance our knowledge on this topic. Regardless of one's moral compass, the future of research on sex trafficking cannot become credible without a solid empirical foundation.

| Summary/Abstract |
The article constitutes the first comprehensive review of the EU's export of crime control policies and ‘aid to internal security’ across regions over the last 15 years. Drawing on both International Relations and criminology, it develops an analytical framework to identify the political rationalities and technologies of crime control that the EU attempts to transfer across the Eastern and Southern (extended) neighbourhoods. By scrutinising 216 projects aimed at combating transnational crime beyond Europe's borders, spanning law enforcement, border security, criminal justice, and the penitentiary sector, the empirical analysis is geared towards detecting and systematising the ways of thinking and doing crime control that the EU seeks to promote and export. Moreover, it investigates the ‘action at a distance’ whereby it does so. It is argued that in shaping third countries’ ability to criminalise, police, indict, convict, and punish, the EU is simultaneously defining its own security actorness, specifically consolidating its role as a ‘global crime fighter’.

| Summary/Abstract |
The security impact of illegal fishing is not well understood. Where illegal fishing is recognised as a security problem, the focus has been on fish as a natural resource, the depletion of which can have impacts on food security, individual livelihoods, and the economic survival of states relying on illegal fishing. We argue that a focus on fish as a natural resource obscures the other security challenges the crime of illegal fishing poses to Australia. As this paper explains, illegal fishing overlaps with drug, human, weapon and other contraband trafficking and smuggling; irregular maritime arrivals; and maritime piracy. In addition, like other easily transported, high value resources, illegal fish can fund insurgencies and other types of political violence. Understanding illegal fishing as a security challenge will improve Australia’s national security policy. First, it acknowledges fish as a vital natural resource, implicated in economic, ecological, and human security; second, it analyses how illegal fishing interlinks with other maritime crimes; third, it challenges the effectiveness of monitoring and enforcement of illegal fishing; fourth, it presents an opportunity for effective regional cooperation; and finally it highlights the benefits of regional cooperation in responding to illegal fishing.

| Summary/Abstract |
Advancement in medical knowledge and lifestyle changes in contemporary society have led to an increasing demand for organs for transplantations, which supply cannot meet. This creates a new space for criminal activity in the illicit procurement and transplantation of human organs. Frank G Madsen surveys the many - ultimately unsuccessful - attempts to address the criminal trade in organs, and shows how current international and municipal legal frameworks fall short of providing an adequate way to conceptualise and eventually solve what is likely to be an increasingly pressing problem.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the last issue of the RUSI Journal, the article series on transnational organised crime and security focused on a case study, looking at the challenge posed by drugscartels in Mexico and providing us with a compelling view on how organised crime can threaten the security fabric of a single country. In this issue, Peng Wang takes a similar in-depth approach to a case study, with a minutely detailed assessment of the resurgence of Chinese organised crime over the last two decades. His analysis breaks down this increasingly worrying phenomenon into three overlapping levels, scrutinising the activities of criminal organisations with mainland China, the cross-border criminal flows in the Greater China region and ethnic-Chinese organised crime in the UK. This three-level study captures the intricacies of the transnational, globalised nature of these groups' structures and networks, providing a useful resource for those wishing to better understand how Chinese organised crime flourishes at home and overseas, and how it can be countered.

| Summary/Abstract |
In the final instalment of the Journal's series on transnational organised crime and security, Peter Romaniuk analyses existing research on terrorist financing. In a comprehensive overview of current approaches to this all-important nexus between organised crime and terrorism, he points out the gaps in current knowledge and suggests ways to develop methods of investigation. The pursuit of further empirical studies - gathering and analysing original evidence - is essential to make research immediately relevant to policy-makers, law enforcers and military professionals who seek to undermine the financial foundations of terrorist activity.

| Summary/Abstract |
Malcolm asserts that ‘[t]he relationship between sustainable development and maritime security thinking and practice should be explored in greater detail if the global community is to meet the sustainable development goals’. This article considers the impact of transnational organised crime at sea on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by demonstrating how selected goals are affected by illicit activities at sea. The nexus between maritime security and development, both on land and at sea, is then demonstrated by the case study of Somali piracy. The response to Somali piracy is then used to illustrate how a multi-actor response to achieve security in the maritime domain can contribute to the sustainable use of the oceans, thereby promoting development and security on land and at sea. Finally, the paper concludes that such a response will be most effective if it is guided by the SDGs and rooted especially in SDG 16 aimed at establishing peace, justice and strong institutions and SDG 17, forming partnerships in doing so.
