• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Global criminology is an emerging field covering international and transnational crimes that have not traditionally been the focus of mainstream criminology or criminal justice. This volume is a collection of peer-reviewed papers presented at the First International Conference of the South Asian Society of Criminology and Victimology (SASCV) in Jaipur, India in 2011. The book's four dominant themes are terrorism, cyber crimes and victimization, marginality and social exclusion, and theoretical and practical methods of criminal victimization. The editors' goal is to expand the boundaries of criminology, criminal justice, and victimology with a view towards reducing crime worldwide.
