The same process that brought globalisation of legitimate activities has also brought the spread of transnational organised crime. Globalisation creates new opportunities for crime and new means of committing crime, for example cyber crime.

The global criminal economy has both a demand and supply side.

The “due process” and the “crime control” models both have to follow a protocol, regulations, and laws as described by the United States Constitution. Regardless of the approach, it is followed either by “due process”, or by the crime control model, the laws and Amendments must ensure the same approach effectively and consistently (Zalman, 2008). Both models have other differences as well. For example, the “due process” model provides that law enforcement within the criminal justice system is important to ensuring appropriate justice within society. While the “crime control” model contemplates that, the criminal justice system has an adverse consequence and progressively stops the process of arresting people within the criminal justice system.

He goes on to say: “The model process for managing and containing sex offenders on probation or parole values public safety, victim protection, and reparation for victims as paramount (Travis, 1997).” In other words, the goal is to keep as close scrutiny on sexual predators/offenders as
