Globalisation

Green and Ward

state crimes are illegal or deviant activities perpetuated by state agencies e.g Rawanda genocide where police didn’t stop the hutu malitia.

The global criminal economy

Held at el - there has been a globalisation of crime:increasing interconnectedness of crime across national borders and spreading of transational organised crime.

Castelles.

argues the global criminal economy is worth over £1 trillion per annum. e.g through trafficking arms, smuggling illegal immigrants and trafficking women and children.

glenny mcmafia

-transnational organised crimes operate in much the same way of trans national corporations like mcdonalds who sell the same products all over the world but instead they sell weapons, drugs, slaves, organs and people smuggling.

hobbs and dunningham

they suggest global networks operate at both local and global level. hobbs uses the term ‘glocal’ to describe the interconnectivity between the local and the global.

disorganised capitalism

corporations now operate transitionally in global markets, moving money, manufacturing, staff and waste around the globe to countries where profits are higher + labour costs lower.

taylor

argues disorganised capitalism has led to fewer jobs in developing countries + exploitation of workers in developing countries.

cultural globalisation

ideology of consumerism spread across globe but many ppl have little chance of adopting this lifestyle - spread of bulimic society.

bauman

late modernity there is growing individualism so consumerism puts personal gain above community benefit so crime offers otherwise unobtainable rewards.
