James Sheptycki has published a new book titled Conflict, Crime and Criminology: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Wiley, 2025). The book looks at how conflict and power shape crime and criminology, integrating interdisciplinary theories along with his own research and years of experience working in the field. It covers emerging concerns such as ecocide, human rights-based criminology, and the digital transformation of law enforcement, and engages with feminist, Green, Southern, anti-racist, anti-colonial, left-realist, ultra-realist and conservative theoretical perspectives in criminology.
James Sheptycki is a professor emeritus of Criminology at York University. With a career spanning over three decades, Sheptycki has conducted pioneering research on transnational policing, organized crime and criminological theory. He is widely published and known for his interdisciplinary and globally-informed approach to criminology, particularly through ethnographic and empirical fieldwork.
