Unveils the nature of crime and offers insights into the pitfalls of a globalisation where the rules dividing the legal from the illegal are often far from clear. This book argues that conventional policing methods are no longer appropriate to deal with a problem whose roots lie in global poverty and the divisions between rich and poor.

This consistently riveting account unveils the nature of crime in today's world but it also offers profound insights into the pitfalls of a globalisation where the rules dividing the legal from the illegal are often far from clear. It also argues that conventional policing methods are no longer appropriate to deal with a problem whose roots lie in global poverty and the ever widening divisions between rich and poor.
