Globalization & Crime brings together the closely related subjects of criminology and global sociology. Ideal for upper-level undergraduate and postgraduate students, it examines established topics such as human trafficking and smuggling, migration and organised crime. It also delves into new territory and explores the issues surrounding international criminal justice, comparative criminology, green criminology and human rights.

New to this Second Edition is a chapter dedicated to the impact that the war on terror has had on the rule of law and a detailed discussion on the growing topic of cosmopolitan criminology. Complete with extensive references, helpful suggestions for further reading and a detailed glossary, this book will prove essential reading for students and academics in criminology, globalization, sociology and other social sciences.

The Key Approaches to Criminology series celebrates the removal of traditional barriers between disciplines and, specifically, reflects criminology’s interdisciplinary nature and focus. It brings together some of the leading scholars working at the intersections of criminology and related subjects. Each book in the series helps readers to make intellectual connections between criminology and other discourses, and to understand the importance of studying crime and criminal justice within the context of broader debates.

The series is intended to have appeal across the entire range of undergraduate and postgraduate studies and beyond, comprising books which offer introductions to the fields as well as advancing ideas and knowledge in their subject areas.

Product description

Review

Globalization and Crime is a tour de force of how, where and why criminology needs to be applied and extended to our rapidly changing world. This sophisticated and detailed book proclaims the shift of globalization from the periphery to the centre of criminological study and in so doing rapidly improves its theoretical and methodological endeavour. For all students of criminology this is an exciting must read as the future paths of the discipline are mapped out.

The book really is good, but every time I turn the page, the page falls out? It is really weird and I have never experienced anything like this before? The book doesn't appear damaged in any way, it is just really poorly put together. I am just about managing, but there is no way I can sell or even give the book away when I am done with it
