Summary/Abstract: The new challenges and opportunities associated with cross-border crime in the context of Romania’s integration into the Schengen Area expand with the change in the state border regime. The expansion of these borders promises better economic cooperation, but will also create some significant security concerns. This article analyzes the emergence of new determinants of cross-border crime that include new economic, socio-cultural, political and technological influences. Economic factors such as poverty and corruption can intensify illicit activities, while migratory flows and social vulnerabilities create new dynamics of cross-border crime. The article also explores the role of technology in facilitating cross-border crime and the need for a robust approach to cooperation both at national level and by extension to international cooperation. The conclusions provide valuable insight into future strategies to ensure a safe and integrated transition of Romania into the Schengen Area.
