In late modern society, the mass media are at the centre of culture, and the media are obsessed with crime. As a result, they are our main source of knowledge about crime. However, the media present us with a distorted picture. For example, crime fiction, whether Tv 'cop shows' or the individual genuis of a Sherlock Holmes, offers a false image of policing. Similarly, many sociologists accuse the news media of creating folk devils and or promoting unrealistic fears of crime.

Relative deprivation has increased: Taylor argues that the deregulation of financial markets means governments have little control over their own economies and marketisation has encouraged society to view themselves as individual consumers calculating personal costs and benefits- social cohesion is undermined. The materialistic culture promoted through this gives society a sense of feeling deprived= some turn to crime.

Globalisation is multi-causal, and there are a number of key processes and events that may have aided its development, including; technological innovation; global crises; the end of the Cold War' the growth of the transnational organisations; the expansion of free trade. Views on the impact of globalisation on crime vary, Globalisation has led to changes in the opportunities to commit crime. This has meant increased in some types of crime such as fraud, and new crimes such as cyber-crime.
