Description
Global Crime and Justice offers a truly transnational examination of both deviance and social controls around the world. Unlike comparative textbooks detailing the criminal justice systems of a few select nations, or cataloging types of international crimes that span multiple legal jurisdictions, Global Crime and Justice provides a critical and integrated investigation into the nature of crime and how different societies react to it. The book first details various types of international crime, including genocide, war crimes, international drug and weapons smuggling, terrorism, slavery, and human trafficking. The second half covers international law, international crime control, the use of martial law, and the challenges of balancing public order with human and civil rights.
Global Crime and Justice is suitable for use in criminology and criminal justice departments, as well as in political science, international relations, and global studies programs. It will appeal to all who seek an academically rigorous and comprehensive treatment of the international and transnational issues of crime and social order.

Reviews / Votes
As the forces of globalization continue to reshape societies and impact relationships among and between nations, corporations, and individuals, David Jenks and John Fuller provide an excellent overview and analysis of the complex issues related to global crime and justice. Their new book not only defines global crime, but provides examples of the most prevalent types of global crime while contextualizing these behaviors and societies' responses. Students and scholars alike will find this book essential in understanding crime in a global context. --Matthew S. Crow, Professor and Chair, Dept. of Criminology and Criminal Justice, University of West FloridaMore details
