Hobby and Dunningham: ‘glocal crime’ = Global networking to use economic crime as a new
opportunity
Glenny: ‘McMafia’ = Russian officials buy large amounts of product when the stocks crashed at
the collapse of communism. They hired gangs to protect their money, creating a ‘brand’ Mafia,
rather than a traditional ‘family’ Mafia.
Green Crime
Primary Green Crime: direct damage to environment
Secondary Green Crime: actions that may cause damage as a second impact
Traditional Crime: breaking the law – problematic because crime is globalised and defined by
people
Zemiology (green crime): any harm to the environment. Hard to define what a quantifiable
amount of harm is enough to penalize.
Examples of primary green crime:
● littering
● deforestation
● air pollution

Statistics:
● Deforestation: 1960-1990 – 1/5th of the tropical rainforest was destroyed by the
