This book addresses immensely consequential crimes in the world
today that, to date, have been almost wholly neglected by students
of crime and criminal justice: crimes of globalization. This term
refers to the hugely harmful consequences of the policies and
practices of international financial institutions - principally in
the global South. A case is made for characterizing these policies
and practices specifically as crime. Although there is now a
substantial criminological literature on transnational crimes,
crimes of states and state-corporate crimes, crimes of
globalization intersect with, but are not synonymous with, these
crimes. Identifying specific reasons why students of crime and
criminal justice should have an interest in this topic, this text
also identifies underlying assumptions, defines key terms, and
situates crimes of globalization within the criminological
enterprise. The authors also define crimes of globalization and
review the literature to date on the topic; review the current
forms of crimes of globalization; outline an integrated theory of
crimes of globalization; and identify the challenges of controlling
the international financial institutions that perpetrate crimes of
globalization, including the role of an emerging Global Justice
Movement. The authors of this book have published widely on white
collar crime, crimes of states, state-corporate crime and related
topics. This book will be essential reading for academics and
students of crime and criminal justice who, the authors argue, need
to attend to emerging forms of crime that arise specifically out of
the conditions of globalization in our increasingly globalized,
rapidly changing world.
Edwin H. Sutherland is widely identified as the single most
important and influential criminologist of the twentieth century.
He is especially well-known for his path-breaking criminology
textbook (first published in 1924), his promotion of a sociological
(and scientific) approach to the understanding of crime and its
control, his theory of differential association, and his work over
his final ten years on white-collar crime, a term he is credited
with having introduced. This book explores the contemporary meaning
of Edwin Sutherland and considers why criminologists today should
continue to engage with his work. What can and should Sutherland
mean to future 21st century criminologists, those working in the
field say between 2021 and 2050, or some one hundred years after
the 1921 to 1950 period that encompassed Sutherland's
criminological career? Which dimensions of Sutherland's work have
best survived the march of time and which are most likely to - and
deserve to - survive going forward? Making the case that Sutherland
is important to both mainstream and critical criminologists, to
positivistic criminologists and those who study crimes of the
powerful, this book is essential reading for both students and
scholars interested in exploring the enduring legacy of this key
thinker in criminology.
