INTRODUCTION
Criminal law is a regulatory mechanism that is being formulated to ensure that the criminals must
be punished for the offence they have committed. It is a regulatory body which renders justice to the
victims who suffered any harm or loss by the act of the offender. It also establishes a framework in
which the crime suspects are tried with transparency and fair procedure is followed at the time of
investigation, enquiry and trial(Burin, 2021). It also imposes a duty on the part of the authority to
reconstruct the criminals in the rehabilitation centres so as to make them a responsible citizen of the
society. The main prosecuting authority in England and wakes is the Crown Prosecution
Service(CPS). It brings the cases transferred by the police officials in order to bring the particular
cases before the court. This report encompasses the global practices or trends which led to the
increase in the crime rates in the United Kingdom. It will further discuss about the measures which
could be adopted in order to provide justice to the people affected by the various criminal activities.
MAIN BODY
What are the implications of crime and criminology at global level ?
Global trends can be defined as a general evolution or changing of the situations that lays an
impact on many countries around the globe in one or the other aspect. May it be economic growth
and development, inflation, deflation, money market and in crime and justice. The effects may be
positive or negative. Crime is an act or omission which is governed by the law formulated by the
legislative authorities of any state. Globalization and crime are interconnected with each other. The
movement of goods and services along with the people of different countries are migrated in each
others state in order to carry distinct activities like, education, business, cultural and economic. The
increasing use of the internet and social media pushed the aspect of globalization to an extent
(Cowley, 2019).
Global crimes are those activities which takes place worldwide like cyber crime, human
trafficking, smuggling, etc. These crimes are carried out by the individuals or by the criminal
networks that are spread across the globe(Persak, 2019). For example- various terrorists groups
such as ISIS militants who are responsible for the mass killing of the civilians of many countries.
Globalization means removing all the obstacles from the cross border mobility of goods and
financial assets. This system has become advantageous for the different criminal networks. The
world wide business activities increased the demand and supply of the illegal goods and services
which took place in various areas of different countries.
