Criminal Offense: Local and Global and its sis text Criminal Justice: Regional and Global are 2 new teaching texts that aim to gear up the reader with a crucial understanding of the worldwide contested nature of ‘criminal activity’ and ‘justice’. Through an evaluation of key concepts and criminological approaches, the books illuminate the different ways in which crime is constructed, conceived and managed. International case studies are utilized to show how ‘crime’ and ‘justice’ are historically and geographically located in regards to the global/local context, and how processes of criminalisation and punishment are mediated in modern societies. Criminal activity: Local and International covers the method local occasions (such as prostitution) have broader aspects than previously thought. Links with individuals traffickers, global organised criminal offense and violence can not be neglected any longer. Each criminal activity or location of activity selected within this text has a global reach, and is made ever more possible due to the way globalisation has actually opened up markets, both legitimate and illegitimate. The book’s technique and scope emphasises that we can no longer view ‘criminal activity’ as something which happens within certain jurisdictions, at certain times and in particular locations. For instance, the chapter on cybercrime highlights the ‘unlawful’ acts that can be perpetrated by second lifers, anywhere in the world, but are they a criminal activity?
