Review Quotes:
"This work is essential reading for students and practitioners who seek an understanding of the theoretical and practical aspects of international crime and law enforcement.""
Peter Joyce, Department of Sociology, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
This book tackles vital issues to do with globalization, crime, terrorism and insecurity. Students will find a wealth of understanding concerning the injustice of global crime control as currently practiced. Wendy Laverick's treatment of these complex issues and themes is clearly formulated and convincing."
James Sheptycki, Professor of Criminology, Faculty of Liberal Arts and Professional Studies, York University, Toronto, Canada
"Laverick's analyses of ongoing debates within globalization scholarship are thoughtful and eloquent, and deserve the attention of any budding criminologist. It examines theory from a range of disciplines and introduces students to the frequently neglected area of the world order and world politics."
Sahng-Ah Yoo, Border Criminologies"This book is a worthy contribution that can open the eyes of students to a view of international crime and justice problems that transcend the crises of the day. As the author concludes, 'universal justice remains aspirational', but this book helps us to understand more precisely why it is so."
Jay S. Albanese, Professor, Wilder School of Government & Public Affairs, Virginia Commonwealth University, USA, Policing and Society
