The New Faces of Victimhood

"Besides generating wealth, globalization makes victims, including victims of new forms of crime. In this edited book of scholarly essays, lawyers, criminologists, psychologists and political scientists reflect on the legal challenges posed by these dark sides of globalization. Examples include transnational organised crime, human trafficking and corruption, cyber crimes, international terrorism, global corporate crime and cross-border environmental crimes. The authors reflect on the limits of domestic systems of justice in providing protection, empowerment and redress to the victims of these emerging forms of global insecurity. They argue for the need of better international or supranational institutional arrangements such as legal instruments and actions of the United Nations or regional organizations such as the European Union"--P.
