1. Introduction
September 11, 2001, is a day that few will forget. Among other
things, it marked the reality of terrorism and the global reach of
crime in America, even though other such acts had occurred
prior to 9-11. This week, the last in the course, continues to
focus on "crime in the modern world," specifically on drug and
public order crimes, varieties of terrorism, the impact of
globalization on crime and criminal activity including global or
transnational crime, and "high-tech" crimes. And, as you come
to the end of your journey in this course, you step back and
consider the "so what" of the social problems and social
responsibility perspectives you have analyzed and applied - that
is, the impact or effect one perspective or another has in the
actual creation and adoption of policy and the approaches and
actions taken to prevent and control crime.
