As the world becomes a smaller place, crime control policies adopted by one country increasingly affect criminal behavior in others. For example, a seemingly mundane statute passed by the Oklahoma legislature in 2004 started a chain reaction which drove drug production from Oklahoma to Texas and eventually to Africa. In his lecture, Prof. Doron Teichman will describe the competitive dynamics that drive legislation relating to global criminal activity and will evaluate whether this competitive process should be regulated.
