Preface
This book aims to respond to the desire of students of any level and practitioners to know more about the subject of Transnational Crimes and Criminal Justice, and to address the many questions we academics may well often take for granted. Assumed knowledge can be discouraging to those willing to learn more about a topic.
The main concern has been that students and other people new to these topics may feel disenfranchised even in matters where they have shown strong interest. There is a tendency amongst academics to write and deliver complex papers in class; however, after years of teaching this subject at undergraduate and postgraduate level, we have learnt a valuable lesson: the questions received can be basic, for example What are transnational crimes? What is the international community?. Further, we are mindful of Pratt calling for academics to relearn how to talk like a real person again (Pratt 2008: 46) referring to the complicated academic jargon criminologists use when talking about their research to the lay person. We are also aware that the new generation of learners or academics and practitioners approaching this subject for the first time may have a different way of mapping out and building on knowledge.
With this book, we aspire to offer a stepping stone to produce the enthusiasm and inspiration to continue with this topic. Therefore, we see this book as a friendly platform for those students, academics and practitioners who approach enthusiastically these topics for the first time, coming from a range of diverse backgrounds, and would like to expand their knowledge without being intimidated by its complexity and inevitable jargonistic discussion around globalization, transnational matters and human rights.
The chapters are based on several years of lecture notes and discussion with upper level students, postgraduates and academic experts in the field. The material the book offers aims to come across as a conversation both in the structure and content. Examples are given as often as possible to offer a way to engage with abstract material in more concrete terms. In essence, this seeks to be pedagogical material, with the ambition to gain and maintain the interest of the reader.
At times, choices have been made leading to a simplification of complex material. If students feel that they want to know more after reading about one of the many subjects covered, the book has already achieved its purposes.
Our sincere gratitude goes to the Sage commissioning editors and assistant editors for believing in this project from the start to the end; yes, there has been an end product at last! In particular, our gratitude goes to Caroline Porter, Natalie Aguilera, and Amy Jarrold.
We are also indebted to a number of colleagues for their feedback and encouragement: Ryan Conlon, Derek Dalton, Mark Israel, David O. Friedrichs, Mary Heath, Evan Smith, Anne Mignone and the Faculty of Education, Humanities and Law of Flinders University for their financial support during this project.
