Abstract

Globalization has made the state's territory open to the world, thus reducing effort, time, and distances. Crime has capitalized on the components of globalization, expanding its activities to encompass multiple countries and continents. Globalization has increased communication and cooperation among criminal organizations worldwide, leading to a rise in illegal migration and international trade. Crime has also evolved its methods and diversified its fields, resulting in increased power and a threat to national security while hindering development. In the face of the globalization of crime, countries have aimed to enhance their legislative systems and improve their security and judicial apparatuses by utilizing the latest advancements in science and technology. They have adopted a preventative approach by enhancing political, economic, and social conditions while eliminating factors that lead to criminal activities. Additionally, countries have strengthened security cooperation among each other.
