Introduction to Global Crime and Justice

Description

The course will introduce the study of global crime and justice, a developing field of inquiry which examines the impact of global changes on issues that pertain to crime and punishment. The purpose of the course is to both study criminal phenomena and the available responses to them on the global level as well as to explore the ways in which these issues supplement but also challenge our conventional thinking about crime and punishment. In that sense, the course will cover key problems that pertain to global crime and justice and will also provide the students with the necessary skills to critically assess the challenges posed by supranational phenomena and the adequacy of responses that we currently have.
