Globalisation and crime
- Giddens (1964): Globalisation is the intensification of worldwide social relations
which link distant localities in such a way that local events are shaped happening on
events happening miles away. Modern forms of communication have made distance
and national borders less important than barriers between social groups
- United Nations Development Programme (1999): globalisation has resulted in
the growth of: illegal trafficking of both weaponry and humans, corruption,
violent crimes and terrorism, war crimes and dealing in illicit drugs
- Taylor (1999): Globalisation enables
transnational crime. Two ways that it does this:
- Globalisation gives people the ability to move their
finances globally which enables financial crimes like tax
evasion, money laundering and insider trading
- Cheap international transport and effective communication systems have
enabled companies to shift production to countries where production costs
are lowest. This results in the decline of employment and income levels in
western European countries, and the increase of crime and social disorder
- Ruggiero (1996): Adds that the decline in employment encourages the growth
of small firms in western Europe that avoid labour laws and operate outside
of the formal economy. They will often employ the cheapest labour they can,
focussing their recruitment to illegal immigrants
