Global criminology is an emerging field covering international and
transnational crimes that have not traditionally been the focus of
mainstream criminology or criminal justice. Global Criminology:
Crime and Victimization in a Globalized Era is a collection of
rigorously peer-reviewed papers presented at the First
International Conference of the South Asian Society of Criminology
and Victimology (SASCV) that took place in Jaipur, India in 2011.
Using a global yardstick as the basis for measurement, the
fundamental goal of the conference was to determine criminological
similarities and differences in different regions. Four dominant
themes emerged at the conference: Terrorism. In a topic that
operates at the intersection of international law, international
politics, crime, and victimization, some questions remain
unanswered. Is terrorism a crime issue or a national defense issue?
Should terrorists be treated as war criminals, soldiers, or civil
criminals? How can international efforts and local efforts work
together to defeat terrorism? Cyber Crimes and Victimization. Cyber
space provides anonymity, immediate availability, and global
access. Cyber offenders easily abuse these open routes. As cyber
space develops, cyber-crime develops and grows. To achieve better
cyber security, global criminologists must explore cyber-crimes
from a variety of perspectives, including law, the motivation of
offenders, and the impact on victims. Marginality and Social
Exclusion . Globalization is manifest in the fast transition of
people between places, societies, social classes, and cultures.
Known social constructions are destroyed for new ones, and
marginalized people are excluded from important material, social,
and human resources. This section examines how we can provide
inclusion for marginalized individuals in the global era and
protect them from victimization. Theoretical and Practical Models
of Criminal Victimization. The process of globalization, as
mentioned above, creates new elements of victimization. But
globalization can also become an opportunity for confronting and
defeating victimization through improved sharing of knowledge and
increased understanding of the humanity of the weak. The emerging
global criminology comprises diversity of attitudes, explanations,
and perspectives. The editors of this volume recognize that in the
global village, there is room for solid contributions to the field
of criminology and criminal justice. This collection is a move in
this direction. It is hoped that these articles will help to expand
the boundaries of criminology, criminal justice, and victimology
with a view towards reducing crime worldwide.
