There is no doubt that globalisation has profound effects on
crime, justice and our feelings of security, identity and
belonging. Many of these affect both the making of laws and the
breaking of laws. It has been argued however that criminology has
been too provincial, focusing as it often does on national laws and
issues, whilst others have said that globalisation is the stuff of
international relations, global finance and trade, not of
criminology. This book disputes this by asserting that criminology
has a firm place in this arena and globalisation offers the
discipline a challenge that it should relish.
Some of the field s top scholars from the UK, the US, Canada,
Australia and New Zealand consider these challenges and present
cutting-edge analysis and debate. Topics covered include
transnational organised crime, international policing and a range
of other issues involving global harm such as genocide, the
workings of international financial institutions, the fate of
international migrants and the impact of anti-immigration
sentiments in Europe. A particular focus is on borders and
arrangements that deal with migration and populations that are
excluded and adrift.
This book highlights criminology s analysis and engagement in
new understandings of globalisation, in particular its harmful and
unethical manifestations, and offers a mode of scrutiny and
vigilance. "Globalisation and the Challenge to Criminology "will be
of particular interest to those studying criminology, criminal
justice, policing, security and international relations as well as
those who seek to understand globalisation and, in particular, its
harmful outcomes.
