Globalisation and crime = 10 marker
30 marker in 2023 but this doesn't mean it won't come up again!
Globalisation – increased interconnectedness of a ‘shrinking’ world (Cohen and Kennedy)
Global Village (McLuhan) – contact, communication, and movement
3 main types of globalisation (Giddens)
-
Cultural (incs. Movement of people)
-
Political
-
Economic
Movement of people and products has increased significantly with the development of globalisation.
GLOBAL CRIMES – state crimes, green crimes, cyber crimes, trafficking – people, drugs, animals, organ, weapons. Black market, dark web. War crimes
Globalisation has increased crime because of the connectivity and ease. More resources, easier movement and more cyber crime (especially because we are more online than ever before!)
