The Globalisation Of Crime
This was an investigative project that examined how the architecture of globalisation not only enhances the legitimate economy, but also the illicit economy as well, and how these developments might evolve in the future. The project is being undertaken as a collaboration. The project started in July 2007 and reported at the World Future Society conference in July 2008.
It is the case that, increasingly, organised criminals are adopting the architecture of globalisation to further their ends. Organised crime is able to use the transport and financial networks created by the process of globalisation to extend its scope globally. This project looked at some of the aspects of the globalisation of crime and how they will develop in the near future, with particular reference to the architecture of globalisation; the links between criminal gangs, narcotics and money laundering; white collar crime; and the modern slave trade.
