Law And Criminality
Resumen
Every society draws a line between what is allowed and what is punished, but where that line sits, and how it is enforced, differs enormously around the world. Law and criminality reaches from petty theft to organised crime, cybercrime and corruption. The scale is sobering: the UN Office on Drugs and Crime estimated about 458,000 intentional homicides worldwide in 2021, and the World Prison Brief reported around 11.5 million people held in prisons globally as of 2024. Behind the figures lie hard questions about fairness, safety and second chances.
This note does not list crimes for you to memorise. It teaches the Global Perspectives way of thinking about justice: seeing it through a victim's, a country's and the world's eyes; weighing tough arguments about punishment and rehabilitation against their counter-arguments; judging crime statistics and reporting that are easy to misuse; and reasoning toward realistic, evidence-based action. That balanced habit of mind is what your report, team project and Paper 1 reward.
Objetivos
- Explain why law and criminality is an issue of global significance and describe its main causes and consequences.
