International
crime and justice is an emerging field that covers international and
transnational crimes that have not been the focus of mainstream
criminology or criminal justice. This book examines the field from a
global perspective. It provides an introduction to the nature of
international and transnational crimes and the theoretical perspectives
that assist in understanding the relationship between social change and
the waxing and waning of the crime opportunities resulting from
globalization, migration, and culture conflicts. Written by a team of
world experts, it examines the central role of victim rights in the
development of legal frameworks for the prevention and control of
transnational and international crimes. It also discusses the challenges
to delivering justice and obtaining international cooperation in
efforts to deter, detect, and respond to these crimes.
