Table Of ContentThe Routledge Handbook
of International Crime
and Justice Studies
The Routledge Handbook of International Crime and Justice Studies presents the enduring debates
and emerging challenges in crime and justice studies from an international and multi-disciplinary
perspective. Guided by the pivotal, although vastly under-examined, role that consumerism,
politics, technology, and culture assume in shaping these debates and in organizing these
challenges, individual chapters probe the global landscape of crime and justice with astonishing
clarity and remarkable depth.
A distinguished collection of experts examine the interdisciplinary field of international crime
and justice. Their contributions are divided into thematic sections, including:
• theory, culture, and society
• industries of crime and justice: systems of policing, law, corrections, and punishment
• the criminal enterprise
• global technologies
• media, crime, and culture
• green criminology
• political violence
• public health criminology
• the political economy of crime and justice.
All the chapters include full pedagogy and instructional resources for easy referencing or
classroom use. This Handbook will be useful for students, scholars, and practitioners of law,
medicine, history, economics, sociology, politics, philosophy, education, public health, and social
policy.
