CRIMINOLOGY

VIOLENT AND

SERIOUS CRIMES

Organised Crime

Whatever your imagination created, it probably would not prepare you for the reality of the organised crime
gangs that commit some of the most horrendous crimes against humans in the world. Indeed, Aronowitz
(2009) asks the very same question: Who are the traffickers? In simple terms, the traffickers are both male
and female and span the breadth of the globe. The activities vary, as do the success rates, depending on
the criminal justice structures, laws, and geography of the receiving country.

MODERN SLAVERY WORSE THAN SLAVERY

There was loads and loads of talk about using Modern Slavery. And I think that’s what some of the
politicians, and some of the think tanks are thinking that this is how they’ll be able to prevent them from
targeting the vulnerable. I mean, the theory is fine. Their theory, or at least seems to be, is that the police
charge people with some form of human trafficking or Modern Slavery offences, and they believe that the
individuals charged with that offence would be so tarnished among their fellow drug dealers so that when
they went to prison they would be picked on because they’ve been charged with that certain offence.
Personally, I think that’s pretty naive. People are doing the same thing. What’s on the charge sheet … it
doesn’t make them a paedophile, you know. It doesn’t make them rapists of young boys or anything like
that. It just means they’ve been moving young kids around and taking advantage of locals or whatever. I
don’t actually think it will make a spot of difference on the prisoner (Spicer, 2021, p.177).

CRITICAL CRIMINOLOGY

Critical criminology is a perspective that views crime as a product of social conflict, unequal power relations, and structural inequalities - class, race, gender - rather than just individual pathology

GREEN CRIMINOLOGY

Emerging in the 1990s, it focuses on issues affecting the natural environment, non-human animals, and human populations, such as climate change, pollution, wildlife trafficking, and corporate environmental destruction.

CONVICT CRIMINOLOGY

It challenges mainstream, top-down research by providing "insider" perspectives on incarceration, aiming to influence policy, correct academic misconceptions, and advocate for penal reform.

FEMINIST CRIMINOLOGY

Feminist criminology is a subfield of criminology that emerged in the 1970s aiming to centre the study of crime around gender, specifically addressing the neglect and marginalisation of women in traditional male-dominated research.

INTERPOL IS IT WORTH , TAX-PAYERS MONEY?

The International Criminal Police Commission (ICPC) – Interpol for short – has been around since the First World War (Newburn, 2017) and is a form of transnational policing that was originally intended to be used as an intelligence-gathering organisation. However, Interpol today is a truly complex and global operation that sometimes has its international legitimacy challenged, especially when its actions transcend borders and procedures are not followed (Martha et al., 2020). Indeed, Newburn
(2017) states that the growth of Interpol since the 1970s, and especially since 1987 when it computerised its information and became fully operational, has led to some notable challenges.
