Course overview
This course aims to provide students with an in-depth understanding of the impacts of globalisation on crime and the emerging categories of transnational and international crime. Students will critically analyse the transnational and international dimensions of crime and use criminological theory to evaluate responses to globalised crimes. Crime is an increasingly global phenomenon that traverses national borders. This course will examine how crime operates in a global world by examining transnational and international crimes such as trafficking, organised crime, terrorism, crimes against humanity, and war crimes. The course will consider conceptual issues with globalisation that impact how crime is committed and controlled. It will look at the complexities of investigating and prosecuting crimes across borders, as well as international efforts to regulate and punish crimes at a global level.
