Terrorism, Drugs and Crime in Europe after 1992
After 1992, the European Community will reap enormous economic benefits from opening its internal frontiers. But part of the price is that it will be easier for terrorists, drug traffickers and money launderers to operate and to evade capture, unless full use is made of new technological aids for catching them.
In this fascinating analysis of European security, Richard Clutterbuck confronts these problems. He looks at methods the EC countries have used in recent years security measures, computerized intelligence and changes in their laws and assesses which of these worked, which did not, and why. He describes the technology now becoming available, such as: preventing impersonation by digital recording of fingerprints, voice and vein patterns, and DNA; linking Europes national police computers; and detecting explosives by vapour sniffing and neutron bombardment. He makes radical proposals for airport security, fighting drugs, and overcoming the intimidation of witnesses and juries, and examines their implications for civil liberties. Finally, he foresees the exciting prospect of the USSR, the USA and a united Europe co-operating for the first time to overcome the common enemies of terrorism, drugs and international crime.
This book is essential reading for anyone concerned with European security, especially students of politics, international relations, criminology, and the law, as well as police officers, soldiers, politicians, lawyers, and journalists.

When the internal borders of the European Community are opened soon after the end of 1992, the benefits to EC countries will be enormous. The present delays of truck traffic at border checks are estimated as costing as much as 5 per cent of the ECs Gross Domestic Product, but the acceleration of economic activity unleashed by free flow of people, goods, capital and services will generate a great deal more than that. The history of the USA illustrates this. Though their states are internally self-governing, they constitute a sovereign territory of 3.5 million square miles, with a vast range of raw materials from arctic, temperate and tropical regions, with the products of industry moving freely by an unfettered land, sea and air transport system to a market comprising over 210 million of the worlds most affluent people. This formula has provided a very high standard of living and the ability to exert enormous influence on the world by virtue of their national wealth.
