Governing Through Globalised Crime

'Criminology rarely produces work that offers a major reassessment of the scene and sets an agenda for innovative engagement with policy. Braithwaite's Crime Shame and Reintegration stands out in this way. This book by Mark Findlay is formed in the same mould and bears similar promise 'in relation to still more important issues. A major contribution by the leading criminologist of international justice.' −Professor Pat O'Malley, Sydney Law School, Australia
'The author combines three bodies of literature in a very creative way: crime in modern societies, economic and political globalisation, and the search for risk and security. In elaborating this triangle, Findlay's approach is innovative, fresh and thorough. The result is a must-read for every scholar, policy-maker and citizen dealing with or interested in crime, criminal justice and criminal policy.' −Stephan Parmentier, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium'The war on terror, with its merger of the logics of crime control and international security has created an irreversible dynamic of change that threatens to transform the international legal order into a system of crime control. It has become impossible to think through the problem of crime governance within the sovereign state yet few scholars of crime understand the emerging global institutions of justice, and few international law experts take crime seriously as a problem of governance. Fortunately Mark Findlay's scholarship has long brought together both fields. In this remarkable study Findlay provides a compelling account of the rise of this new international form of crime governance, and a communitarian vision of justice that can compete with crime and risk in both international and domestic settings.' −Professor Jonathan Simon, Berkeley Center for Criminal Justice, University of California
