Globalisation and Crime

Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness of countries through trade, technology, and communication. This interconnectedness can contribute to crime in several ways. For instance, as borders become less significant, organized crime networks can operate internationally, trafficking drugs, weapons, and even people. Cybercrime has also risen, as technology allows criminals to exploit vulnerabilities across the globe. Additionally, economic inequalities can lead to increased crime rates, as people may turn to illegal activities for survival. Overall, globalization creates both opportunities and challenges for crime, necessitating global cooperation in law enforcement and policy-making.
