6 ways globalisation has affected crime |
1. Disorganised capitalism 2. Growing inequality 3. Supply and demand 4. More opportunities for crime (new types, means and reduced chances of getting caught) 5. Cultural globalisation and ideology of consumerism 6. Growing individualisation 7. Global risk society |

In late modernity, individualisation increases and improving ones situation becomes the concern of the person alone, with less welfare backing. TAYLOR suggests individuals are left alone to make own choices and achieving society's goals |
|
|
Lash and Urry 1987 |
Globalisation accompanied by fewer regulations and less state control over finance. TNCs can take advantage of this, moving work to less well regulate countries (Taylor adds this can cause fewer jobs in other countries, decreasing social cohesion and increasing crime) |
|

Supply and demand |
1. Demand to move to West from LEDCs as media makes them believe it is better there, paired with tougher immigration laws = market in human trafficking 2. Demand in West for sex, drugs and organs created illegal market |

|
|
Cohen |

Crimes of obedience, created in 3 ways: 1. Authorisation (making it clear individuals are acting within official policy) 2. Dehumanisation (which normalises mistreatment of minorities) 3. Routinisation (makes acts carried out in detached way so perpetrator doesn't question them morally, and often integrates them in their day with other, ordinary activities) |

Tombs and Whyte 2003 |
1. Researchers face strong official resistance when trying to research state crime. Some may face imprisonment and even death for being 'enemies of the state'. 2.

Classifies green crimes into 2 groups 1. Primary - often legal but directly causes environmental degradation (eg air pollution, water pollution) 2. Secondary - result of law breaking (eg breaches of health and safety in Bhopal causing gas leak and deaths of 20,000) |
