Crime and Punishment in the Future Internet is an examination of
the development and impact of digital frontier technologies (DFTs)
such as Artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, autonomous
mobile robots, and blockchain on offending, crime control, the
criminal justice system, and the discipline of criminology. It
poses criminological, legal, ethical, and policy questions linked
to such development and anticipates the impact of DFTs on crime and
offending. It forestalls their wide-ranging consequences, including
the proliferation of new types of vulnerability, policing and other
mechanisms of social control, and the threat of pervasive and
intrusive surveillance. Two key concerns lie at the heart of this
volume. First, the book investigates the origins and development of
emerging DFTs and their interactions with criminal behaviour, crime
prevention, victimisation, and crime control. It also investigates
the future advances and likely impact of such processes on a range
of social actors: citizens, non-citizens, offenders, victims of
crime, judiciary and law enforcement, media, NGOs. This book does
not adopt technological determinism that suggests technology alone
drives social development. Yet, while it is impossible to know
where the emerging technologies are taking us, there is no doubt
that DFTs will shape the way we engage with and experience criminal
behaviour in the twenty-first century. As such, this book starts
the conversation about a range of essential topics that this
expansion brings to social sciences, and begins to decipher
challenges we will be facing in the future. An accessible and
compelling read, this book will appeal to those engaged with
criminology, sociology, politics, policymaking, and all those
interested in the impact of DFTs on the criminal justice system.

This book is a unique and original examination of borders and
bordering practices in the Western Balkans prior to, during, and
after the migrant "crisis" of the 2010s. Based on extensive,
mixed-method, exploratory research in Serbia, Croatia, FYR
Macedonia, and Kosovo, the book charts technological and human
interventions deployed in this region that simultaneously enable
and hinder the mobility projects of border crossers. Within the
rich historical context of the Balkan Wars and subsequent
displacement of many people from the region and beyond, this book
discusses the types and locations of borders as well as their
development, transformation, and impact on people on the move.
These border crossers fall into three distinct categories: people
from the Middle East, Africa, and Asia transiting the region;
citizens of the Western Balkans seeking asylum and access to labour
markets in the EU; and women border crossers. This book also maps
border struggles that follow these processes, analyses the creation
of labour "reserves" in the region, and examines the role that
technology - in particular smartphones and social media - play in
regulating mobility and creating social change. This volume also
explores the role of the EU in, and the impact of the
aforementioned processes on nation-states of the Western Balkans,
their European future, and mobility in the region. Whilst the book
focusses on a particular region in Southeast Europe, its findings
can be easily applied to other social contexts and settings. It
will be particularly useful to academics and postgraduate students
studying social sciences such as criminology, sociology, legal
studies, law, international relations, political science, and
gender studies. It will also be useful for legal practitioners, NGO
activists, and government officials.

The second volume of Sex Trafficking: International context and
response Human trafficking and modern slavery have captured the
imagination and attention of the international community. This book
builds on the authors' first volume, Sex Trafficking: International
context and response. Much has changed since the first volume was
published, not least the shift away from sex trafficking to modern
slavery as the dominant focus in policy and advocacy. Yet, as the
authors argue, little has changed with regards to how nations
respond. This volume re-examines the international
counter-trafficking scholarship and policy response, to offer an
analysis based on original and new data. This book lays the ground
for specific forms of research and inquiry that are necessary to
better understand and respond to the range of exploitative
practices and conditions that give rise to human trafficking. This
book offers a detailed analysis of the dominant response to human
trafficking, which is framed by the criminal justice process.
Examining the identification of victims, the investigation of
cases, victim support, prosecutorial decisions and repatriation
practices, the authors draw upon original research from Australia,
Serbia and Thailand: three diverse nations that, like nations
across the globe, have invested heavily in criminalisation as the
dominant response to counter trafficking. They argue that
exploitation sits at the nexus of global migration patterns and
emphasise the importance of speaking to those directly affected by
counter-trafficking policies and those directly involved in their
implementation in order to produce empirical data to inform how we
make sense of the numbers that are produced, the outcome of the
policies and how we ought to determine success in this context. An
empirical, criminologically informed opportunity to reconsider the
dominant ways of understanding and strategies of responding to
human trafficking, this multi-disciplinary book will be of interest
to those engaged in criminology, sociology, law, political science,
public policy and gender studies.
