It is a highly complex and intertwined world where realms of politics, economy, society, and natural sciences overlap, interests vary, human life becomes complicated, and social, cultural, and natural environments collapse. Amidst this ever-changing world, there are vigorous efforts by active entities and institutions in societies to find an effective and balanced formula to preserve the natural environment, human rights, and scientific development. From this arises the global call for achieving sustainable development, aimed at preserving the earth, eradicating poverty, and improving livelihoods. The United Nations has set seventeen goals for this call, which the countries of the world strive to achieve by 2030.
The " Emerald Handbook of Crime, Justice and Sustainable Development " comes as an important academic contribution and a critical analysis that examines the problems and compromises included in the formulation of these goals. It takes a close look at how well these goals match reality, their effectiveness, and their ability to achieve the desired progress. This book focuses on sustainable development goals related to criminology and raises important questions about the relationship between crime, justice, and sustainable development. The concept of crime in this context extends beyond physical violence to include crimes related to the depletion of natural resources, climate change, human and drug trafficking, extremism, terrorism, and illicit financial flows, among others.
Through practical examples from different countries, the book confirms that globalization and its bias towards the northern countries at the expense of the southern countries have not achieved prosperity or eradicated poverty in the world. The book argues that the solution can only be achieved through the concerted efforts of the international community to promote the rule of law, achieve environmental justice, empower developing countries, and combat poverty and inequality. The research contributions in this book emphasize the need for tolerance, mutual understanding, inclusivity, and responsiveness, values that lie at the heart of the sustainable development goals.
This book brings together the expertise of a diverse group of scholars, researchers, and field activists from different countries around the world with various specializations. This results in a rich discussion and a diversity of approaches and solutions, making it a valuable resource in understanding the future of sustainable development.
