Global Perspectives Assessment
Global Perspectives Assessment
Over the past two decades the criminal justice system in the United States has gained the extra pressure of policing not only their country but also assisting in criminal activity from globalization. It is difficult to police globalization as different countries and criminal justice systems maintain separate and distinct laws and regulations. These criminal justice systems include those of civil law, common law, Islamic Law, and Socialist Law traditions. One of the most intriguing areas of globalization, and most likely the most important to stop, is that of cybercrime. Cybercrime and technology that goes along with it has a profound impact of worldwide justice systems. To post successfully an impact on a worldwide scale, criminal justice systems must work in unison with one another by identifying major crimes and criminal issues that have a global impact on justice systems and processes in all countries, including those world countries such as the Egypt and Columbia.
Impact of Globalization on the United States
When referencing the term “globalization” one must first define its meaning and how it pertains with the criminal justice system. Globalization can be broadly defined as avoidable harms, which can and are inflicted across national borders for financial and economic gain (Gilbert & Russell, 2002). When speaking of criminal activity that begins in other nations, the first thing that comes to mind typically is that of terrorist activity. As this could be considered a crime of globalization, more important offenders pertain to those corporations and organizations that operate overseas but offend in different countries around the world. In the past 25 years, global criminal justice systems have failed to keep pace with the rise of globalization around the world. This has given criminals unprecedented access to make their criminal businesses prosper because of the new openness of trade, finance, travel, and communication
