A consideration of what crime in the Global context will ask further what are the definitional features and criminal implications of that defined as Organised Crime. The nature and application of Violence in various cultural contexts will also be considered.
The recipients of criminal behaviour will then be considered via the three dimensions of technology. Lectures addressing the role of the Media in crime causation and crime fears will lead to the debates as what role Surveillance has on both the watches and the watchers.
