Barak, in this article, discusses different types of crime, the rate at which they are committed,
and their adverse effects. He uses an example of people in power or of equally higher ranks as
primary victims of globalization. Besides, the author exhaustively discusses crimes of the
powerful, giving an overview of the globalization of crime and ways of falling victim to such
crimes. The study provides an analysis of various globalization issues and their level of
contribution towards crime. Capital and social control are highlighted as the significant
globalization issues contributing to increased crime rates.

Cuesta, J. L. d. l., 2013. Criminal Justice System in a Global World. 45(62), pp. 3--28.
Cuesta explains that globalization as a matter of dramatic improvement in a country's economic
and structural activities, an issue that brings relief to the country. He views globalization as a
burden to a country describing the detrimental effects of globalization and analyzing its impacts
concerning crime. Several types of offenses related to globalization are discussed, including war
crimes, humanity crimes, among others. His study is based on the negative impacts of
globalization and uses improvement in transportation as an example, among others. Vehicles are
used in the shipment of lethal weapons into and outside countries and driven on roads, which are
outcomes of globalization.
The article doesn't extend to provide possible ways of handling crime problems related to
globalization. Moreover, the focus is only on the negative impacts of globalization.
Globalization, however, comes with both advantages and disadvantages.
Dastjerdi, S. A. & Sheikholeslami, A., 2019. The effect of globalization on the national criminal
law systems. LibraryPhilosophy and Practice (e-journal), pp. 1--13.
The journal addresses four significant issues, which include globalization, cyberspace, internet,
and crime. Independent discussions are done for the topics with the writer explaining how they
are related. In this discussion, he uses the internet and cyberspace to explain how globalization
has impacted crime and how it has improved human life. Cyberspace and the internet are what
composes globalization, and the same issues bring aid in crime activities. The two mentioned
issues promote peaceful crime; thus, people give preference to their usage when committing a
crime. The author, therefore, describes cybercrime in globalization age emphasizing in

globalized crimes and related examples to such crimes. He summarizes his work by explaining
an investigation of the effect of crime on national criminal law.
The article well suites our topic of discussion despite its limitation to only cyberspace and the
internet as globalization issues. Therefore, extensive research should be done on all globalization
issues and how they contribute to modern society concerning crime.
Karofi, U. A. & Mwanza, J., 2006. Globalization and Crime. Bangladesh e-Journal of Sociology,
3(1), pp. 1--21.
This journal explains the effects of globalization regarding crime, outlining crime cases. The
author relates this issue to a society that has migrated from traditional governance to modern
modes of ruling people. In the discussions, the explain this community has transformed from the
general lawmaking, where community elders had a significant say on law matters, a generation
in which a government body forms legislations to be abided to by its citizens. Lawbreakers,
probably driven by poor governance, economic impoverishment, among other factors, are taken
to court, and judgment passed among them. The author further explains how crime and
globalization are linked in such a way that the use of modern technologies is used to promote sin.
This study is only limited to the transformation from traditional ruling systems to modern
systems. It, however, doesn't give a comparison of the two together with how it has impacted
society.

Annotative Bibliography 5
Hilde Tubex discusses the impact of globalization in a broader perspective doing research that
focuses on comparative globalization. It weighs the magnitude of the success of comparative
globalization in a globalized world using cultural models to access the local situations in
countries like the Netherlands, which tends to resist this dominant trend in globalization. He
explains differences in federal countries where globalization links to the overrepresentation of
indigenous people like Australia. Hilde finalizes by discussing the future of comparative
criminology in the future world, explaining the outcomes that will result in continued
globalization.
The theory given by Hilde neglects society's positive response to globalization.
Wall, D. S., 2015. The Internet as a conduit for criminal activity. Information technology and the

Wall Davies describes the internet as fuel to criminal activities. The journal is written to express
the linkage between the web and crime. We are provided with outlines of the impacts of the
internet on criminal opportunities and behavior. Besides, Davies uses computer-aided crime,
crimes dependent on computers as well as computer-assisted crime examples to explain the
impact of globalization on crime. Involving the use of computers outlines several arguments
regarding the use of the internet as a tool to aid in criminal activities. In summary, the author
describes the transformative effects of internet technology as a means of promoting deviant
behavior in modern society.
The primary concern is the internet with negligence on other forms of globalization.
