Golfing America

This handbook represents the latest thinking and findings from a group of senior and promising young scholars around the world who came together in an effort to broaden our perspectives in understanding crime and social control across borders and nationalities. This collaborative project articulates a new way of thinking about criminology and to strive for an over arching framework that is truly international. To reduce the complexity of this effort into manageable portions, three distinct, albeit often overlapping, types of crime are international crime (e.g. crimes against humanity); transnational crime (e.g. human trafficking); and national crime (e.g. description of one nations system and its related crimes). Each of these perspectives are articulated through chapters on the traditional components (e.g. theory and methods), the international components (e.g. comparative methods, transferability), and a series of case studies of nations. At the end of each chapter is a list of prompting questions suitable for students to pursue as their senior and masters theses. Many of these questions are also intended for young scholars to move the field forward.
