-
GLOBALISATION, CAPITALISM & CRIME
- Taylor argues that globalisation has led to changes in the pattern and extent of crime
- by giving free reign to market forced, globalisation has created greater inequality and rising crime
- globalisation has created crime at both ends of the social spectrum
- its allowed transnational corporations to switch manufacturing to low-wage countries producing job insecurity, unemployment and poverty
- deregulation means that governments have little control over their own economies e.g to create taxes
- marketisation has encouraged people to see themselves as individual consumers, calculating the personal costs and benefits of each action, undermining social cohesion
- this increasingly materialistic culture promoted by global media portrays success in terms of a lifestyle if consumption
- all these factors create insecurity and widening inequalities that encourage people to turn to crime
- at the same time globalisation creates criminal opportunities for elite groups
