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.]]> 2017-05-17 13:51:07 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172330921 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172332158 A global criminal economy worth over £1trillion per annum and this can lead to a multitude of crime.
1. Cyber-Crimes: Current crime, NHS recently hit by a large scale attack. Xbox scandal.
2. International terrorism: Based upon ideological links made via the internet and other ICT
EVAL: Can crime be measured?]]> 2017-05-17 13:54:26 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172332158 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172333642 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.

Beck calls these 'manufactured risks' which are dangers we have never faced before. These man made risks harm the environment.

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.]]> 2017-05-17 14:28:53 UTC https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172343023 olivia_flavell99 https://padlet.com/olivia_flavell99/kuozo7lknzfv/wish/172343840 Moral panics and folk devils. The media amplifies deviance. E.G. Islamaphobia and scapegoating of Muslims and Asians.

Link to Marxism and Left Realism, this can lead to an increase in theft, or crimes that centre around profit.
