  Looking at crime and punishment over the last 100 years, and the changing nature of criminal activity, policing the judicial system, punishment and prison, this book looks at globalisation of crime and future trends in law-breaking, enforcement and detection. It is one of a series which considers some of the major social concerns of the past hundred years, and how attitudes have changed between 1900 and today. Each subject is examined within a global context and is illustrated with contemprary quotes from personalities and witnesses. The book highlights historic events that marked or caused important shifts in the attitudes of society as a whole.
