Globalisation refers to the increasing interconnectedness of societies, so that what happens in one locality is shaped by distant events and vice versa. Globalisation has many causes including spread if information communication technology, the global mass media, cheap flights, deregulation of markets and easy movements of businesses. Moreover, the view that the process of globalisation has led to changes in both the amount of crime and the types of crime committed will be assessed. Held et al suggests there’s been globalisation of crime; an increasing interconnectedness of crime across national borders. The same process that brought globalisation of legitimate activities has also brought the spread of transnational organised crime.
The Spanish American War and the current ongoing War on Terror (Afghanistan and Iraq) have drawn many parallels from each other. The biggest comparison of the two time periods involves the publicity originated from the slogans “9/11 We Will Never Forget” and “Remember the Maine!”. Although these examples are both tragic events from the explosion of the USS Maine and the destruction of the Twin Towers, both are considered prominent examples of the American media’s role in the wars. By using large misleading headlines and over dramatic story lines, the truth could be altered into propaganda to spark war tension. The more dramatic a story was, the more attention and money it would gain.

Here, his theory argues that a high level of lead exposure leads to more violent behavior due to lead being a neurotoxin that causes impulsivity and aggression. Although context and external pressures have a much more significant impact on our actions than previously thought, it has been argued that it is the interaction between genes and the environment, both physical and social, that really determines criminal behavior. In Gladwell’s article, the main focus of his argument is that people are affected by their surroundings more than previously thought. The influence that our immediate environment has on us is the

Dealing with Americans and drugs is one of the many harsh problems we face in society. As a result many countries planned policies and act organizations to try to control drug policy. For example, the United States of America has prepared the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). According to the ONDCP, “The Administration’s National Drug Control Strategy promotes public safety y strengthening coordination among law enforcement professionals and supporting initiatives that work to break the cycle of drug use, crime, incarceration, and re-arrest… drug trafficking organizations and associated criminal groups pose a persistent and dangerous threat to the communities across the United State…” Why is the United States so harsh on drug use? Drugs will always be used and I believe there is absolutely no way to control it.
By taking action within Central America, the United States can decrease this flow of low-sector immigrants into the country while fighting for basic human rights. However, it is not solely up to the United States to take action. The countries heavily involved in the sex trafficking business in Central America need to put pressure on their governments to enact policies that can effectively combat this industry. Immigration flows from the sex trafficking business has broken the stability of cross-border control, resulted in organized crime connected across countries, and has led to a surplus of unwanted immigrants into affected
courts, jails, prisons, and the probation system. Much of the crime can be seen in the increase of gang activity. Immigrant gangs are considered a threat to public safety due to their members’ tendency for violence and their involvement in transnational crime. The National Alliance of Gang Investigators states, “Over the past few decades, the United States has experienced an increase in the number and size of gangs made up largely if not entirely of immigrant youth (legal and illegal) and the U.S.-born children of legal and illegal immigrants” (Feere, Vaughan 2). According to a study for the U.S. Department of Justice, “aliens arrested under Operation Community Shield collectively represent a significant menace to the public.
