Слышали, слышали об этом Центре. Я даже, помню, они несколько лет назад донимали меня по E-mail, присылая свои (очень "объёмистые") бюллетени и предлагая мне выступить на одном из их многочисленных конгрессов/собраний…
По-английски они называются
The Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) – см. Их официальный сайт ниже – а вот по-русски это название переводится по-разному. Возглавляет эту организацию бессменная
Луиз Шелли, основатель и директор.
В принципе, всё, что нужно, можно узнать на их сайте.

Russia Centers and Projects
Through its three overseas research centers in
Vladivostok, Chelyabinsk and
Saratov and its targeted research projects in
Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhniy Novgorod, Kazan and Volgograd, TraCCC fulfills its dual mission of
researching and documenting trends in organized crime and corruption in Russia and devising country-specific legislative and policy methods to address these crimes.
Utilizing their teams of leading scholars and practitioners, each center/project identifies issues of organized crime and corruption affecting their specific region and offers legislative and policy solutions.
TraCCC scholars and practitioners have testified before the Russian Federation Council, the Russian State Duma, and the Human Trafficking Legislative working group, and have given briefings on various aspects of organized crime and corruption to law enforcement agencies, high-level government officials, NGO leaders, foreign embassy personnel and representatives of supranational institutions.
In an effort to train the next generation of Russian law enforcement and government leaders in methods of identifying and addressing organized and corrupt crimes, TraCCC affiliates in Russia have introduced new academic courses on these subjects in institutes of higher learning all across the Russian Federation.
In addition, each research center compiles monthly press surveys highlighting regional trends in organized crime and corruption through media sources and other venues. Efforts to disseminate this information include publishing articles and books, holding public seminars and training sessions, participating in international conferences, and advising law enforcement agencies, government officials and policymakers on organized crime and corruption issues.
Current research topics include corruption in the military industrial complex, links between law enforcement and organized crime, drug trafficking, environmental crimes, and labor exploitation and trafficking in human beings.

Летняя школа для молодых преподавателей уголовного права и криминологии 2003 года
На юридическом факультете Санкт-Петербургского государственного университета при поддержке
Центра по изучению организованной преступности и коррупции при Американском университете (г. Вашингтон, США) создана Школа для молодых преподавателей уголовного права и криминологии (руководитель - д.ю.н., профессор Б.В. Волженкин).
"Transnational crime will be a defining issue of the 21st century for policymakers - as defining as the Cold War was for the 20th century and colonialism was for the 19th. Terrorists and transnational crime groups will proliferate because these crime groups are major beneficiaries of globalization. They take advantage of increased travel, trade, rapid money movements, telecommunications and computer links, and are well positioned for growth."
Louise I. Shelley, Director

Who We Are
The Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) is the first center in the United States devoted to teaching, research, training and formulating policy advice in transnational crime, corruption and terrorism. TraCCC's fundamental goal is to better understand the causes and scope of transnational crime and corruption and to propose well-grounded policy to reduce and eliminate these problems.
The growing phenomena of transnational crime and corruption present a formidable challenge to the protection of national and international security, economic development, democratic reform, and human rights. Systemic corruption in one country often contributes to crime and terror at the global level, and thus is a problem that must be faced by the international community…
