Welcome to TraCCC
The Terrorism, Transnational Crime and Corruption Center (TraCCC) is the first center in the United States devoted to understanding the links among terrorism, transnational crime and corruption, and to teach, research, train and help formulate policy on these critical issues. TraCCC is a research center within the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University. TraCCC also houses the innovative and highly-respected Anti-Illicit Trade Institute (AITI).
A major new research project from George Mason University provides groundbreaking analysis of key hubs engaged in illegal manufacturing, distribution, and money laundering worldwide.
The Democracy and Anti-Corruption Defenders (DAC) Fellowship program is intended to provide an opportunity for nationals of Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras who have worked to strengthen democracy or combat corruption and impunity in their home countries to continue their important work.
