The erosion of national borders has enabled the rise of transnational criminal networks and illicit markets, often outpacing regulatory systems. These developments challenge notions of sovereignty, justice, and security, demanding new frameworks for understanding and addressing crime in a global context. Through a transnational approach, this unit examines how crime transcends national jurisdictions to disrupt legal political boundaries. It encourages students to look beyond their own contexts to better understand the global drivers of crime and insecurity. The unit explores diverse global contexts of crime, analysing the social, political, and economic conditions that enable or constrain key issues, such as the international drug trade or organised crime. It also investigates the convergence and divergence of criminal justice responses to key issues. Students will be able to critically analyse how global and transnational forces shape crime and justice, and develop informed, ethical, context-sensitive responses to the complex challenges that globalisation poses for security, criminality, and justice systems.
