Multi-Volume Sets

These three sets collect together an enormous amount of scholarly research and are intended as openings into the research literature for novice students. In Global Policing and Transnational Law Enforcement, Ben Bowling and I collect together all of the relevant scholarship we could find by the most prominent academics in the field. This collection demonstrates the depth and breadth of research on a phenomenon that was inconceivable a generation ago. In Transnational Crime, I set out to do the same for the social scientific study of transnational and comparative criminology. Building on the framework first established working with Ali Wardak, these four volumes point to the theoretical and methodological issues that arise in trying to take account of empirical research in all of the different regions of the world. Transnational Organized Crime gathers together an encyclopedic compendium of scholarship concerning perhaps the most elusive phenomena in criminology. All crime is local at some point, but nonetheless transnational organized crime became an important object of global governance. Students will want to understand how all of these issues intertwine in complex ways.
