Description

Subject Area: Criminology

Criminology is increasingly forced to adopt a transnational perspective which goes beyond the state-centred frameworks of conventional criminological analysis. In this course we critically examine the changing meaning and function of borders under conditions of globalisation, and consider a range of examples of cross-border crime and criminalisation, in order to understand contemporary trends in the 'securitisation' of borders.
