Roundtable: Emerging Trends of Transnational and Violent Crime in the 21st Century - A Comparative Criminological Approach

Session Submission Type: Roundtable Sessions

Abstract/Description

In recent years, transnational and violent crimes have changed in terms of form and impact. This round-table discussion examines how crimes like cyberattacks, human trafficking, terrorism, police brutality, intimate partner violence, and gun violence have spread and evolved in different parts of the world. Using a simple and clear comparison between countries, we examined how these crimes are carried out, how they affect societies, and how governments respond to them. We utilized case studies from both rich and developing nations to understand how crime patterns differ and what strategies work best in each case and discusses how countries are working together through stronger borders, better technology, and shared laws to fight these crimes. The findings stress the need for flexible crime prevention methods and stronger partnerships across borders to deal with the growing threats in today’s connected world.
