A co-authored paper by Assistant Professor, Nazia Hussain, published in the “International Journal on Criminology”

Globalisation, technological innovations, and evolutions within the financial and economic market have broadened the scope of criminology studies. The contemporary dynamics of violence involve significant overlaps between legal and illegal economic spheres, as it multiplies the potential sources of profit for both illicit and licit actors. The multiplication of reported environmental crime illustrates these dynamics. These trends have contributed to a sophistication and hybridization of the modus operandi used by actors involved in the economic system. In creating the concept of Economies of Violence, this work develops an analytical tool capable of capturing the varied dynamics of contemporary violence driven by profit.
