Opis

This collection spans two decades of cutting-edge thinking on globalization and crime. The selected articles confront criminological perspectives with interdisciplinary perspectives from sociology, political science and economics, and demonstrate how globalization has changed manifestations of crime and decisively re-shaped the criminological imagination as well as criminology’s theories, concepts and methodologies. The volume brings together influential foundational writings with in-depth studies from the best authors in the field and from all parts of the world and includes a specially written introduction.
