Abstract
The increase in human hegemonic actions in the past few decades has led to the realization of the dream of a global village. This, which was carried out under the banner of globalization, led to the emergence of actions that, although they were inherently crimes, did not conform to the traditional and conventional definitions and views governing crimes, and in addition, they were different from traditional crimes in terms of their constituent elements, perpetrators, and victims. Criminal law, with its traditional view of crime, has considered only illegal behavior as a crime and has determined punishment for it. This view of crime is a narrow approach based on the principle of legality of crimes and punishments, while its opposite is a broad view that believes that crime is behavior based on the violation of the human rights of citizens. The main focus of this research, which is based on the descriptive-analytical method, is to analyze the role of the globalization phenomenon in the emergence of crimes that have arisen directly or indirectly from it. In other words, global crimes are those harmful policies and practices of institutions and institutions that are specifically the product of the force of globalization and that occur in a global environment by their very nature. In this study, due to the scope and importance of these crimes, an attempt has been made to look beyond the national and international dimensions of the issue in order to reveal crimes that have unfortunately been neglected by criminologists and criminal law activists. In addition, while analyzing the role of globalization in the emergence of global crimes and providing a precise, comprehensive and determinative definition, the common perception of these crimes is revised.
