In lesson 3, we have analyzed the regulatory frameworks, market trends and current challenges of four organized crime markets, namely drug trafficking, counterfeit products trafficking, falsified or unauthorized medical products and trafficking in cultural property.

For the purpose of this study group, select one of the above-mentioned markets, then conduct your own round of internet search to identify one real-life example within one of such markets. The source reporting or discussing the crime you have selected can be a newspaper article, a scholarly study, a short podcast, or video or whatever you deem is reflective of your thoughts on the matter.

Once you have identified a source, address the following questions in your initial post:

1. Why did you select the source material included in your post?

2. How does the item provided reflect your thinking on the issue?

3. What is something new that you considered as a result of the source? Did it modify your views in anyway? Are there any subpoints that you take issue with?

4. What further questions or thoughts do you have about the discussion topic now that you have weighed into it more, that you may not have considered before?
