Unraveling the Crime-Development Nexus interrogates the claim that crime represents a significant threat to economic development. Combining historical analysis with a unique empirical perspective based on interviews with high-level international crime policy insiders, it accounts for how and why the ‘crime-development nexus’ has been invoked by international actors, including the United Nations, to advance and secure variations of a global capitalist development agenda since the 19th Century.Drawing on perspectives anchored in critical criminology, International Relations, and development studies, Unraveling the Crime Development Nexus reveals that the international crime policy agenda today remains overwhelmingly responsive to those who benefit from the further expansion of neoliberal globalisation, while simultaneously marginalising subordinate actors throughout the ‘developing’ world. The book concludes by considering how international organisations, civil society actors, and major donors might support a more equitable and sustainable model of global crime governance that addresses the structural causes of crime and uneven development at a global level.

The authors of this book attempt to discover how crime and efforts to control crime contribute to social development, specifically in the United Nations. Using history and criminological theory, the authors start by explaining why crime is a development issue. Then they dive into a larger discussion of theory and global crime governance before examining the history behind the crime-development nexus. The remainder of the text deals with issues surrounding crime, especially international crime, and global capitalism... The authors' use of history and theory throughout gives the discussion a complex and layered approach, and their rich exploration of this topic sheds light on an important global issue. Recommended. Graduate students, researchers, and faculty.
