This volume consists of 26 essays that consider issues related to crime and justice in the context of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its Sustainable Development Goals. Criminology, sociology, law, and other specialists from around the world explore the challenges and ambiguities of various elements of the 2030 Agenda from the perspective of criminology and related disciplines, addressing contextual, ideological, and theoretical aspects, such as the history of global crime governance and how the status of development in the international crime policy agenda has evolved since World War II, the origins of the relationship between organized crime and sustainable development, and a Marxist critique of the 2030 Agenda's ideological underpinnings and developmental aspirations; the prospects and challenges in facilitating orderly development in the Sustainable Development Goals context, in terms of violence reduction, corruption reduction, the rule of law agenda, polycentric models of security governance, crime prevention and violence in Latin America, and the externalization of border controls; social justice for sustainable development, including inclusive and safe cities, security sector reform, youth justice, domestic violence advocacy, and eliminating violence against women and girls; how sustainable development is impacted by transnational crime and terrorism, including human trafficking and modern slavery, illicit financial flows, global drug policy, right-wing nationalism and neo-jihadism, and global trade in stolen culture and nature; and environmental justice and sustainable development in terms of capitalism and ecological justice, access to safe and affordable drinking water, human security and illegal logging, air pollution and climate change, and illegal, unregulated, and unreported fishing.
