“…The recent work of Lohne on international criminal justice, for example, highlights the normative complexities of forms of transnational`penal aid', that remain, however laudable their original intentions,`imbued with neo-colonialism and global inequalities'. 83 Nevertheless, we would argue that normatively positive forms of international policy mobility and exchange remain possible, if undertaken with due regard for the challenges and complexities involved. Such processes of knowledge and policy exchange can be facilitated by sensitive and systematic scholarly research that remains alive to the dangers of neo-colonialist imposition.…”

This article examines the contribution of scholarly work on`policy transfer' and related concepts to our knowledge of how far, and in what ways, particular policy`models' of security and justice travel across national boundaries, and what might explain this phenomenon. The article begins by summarizing the key findings of extant empirical studies of cross-national policy movement in the fields of crime, security, and justice. It then considers the normative dimension to debates about policy transfer, observing that much of the literature adopts a pessimistic position about the problematic nature of international policy movement in security and justice, and discusses some of the reasons for such pessimism. The article then reflects on ways in which normative principles could be applied to considerations of prospective policy transfer, and the implications for the broader possibilities for`progressive' policy transfer in relation to crime, security, and justice.In security and justice, as with other areas of public policy, it often appears that the world is getting smaller. The increasingly transnational nature of social problems and their associated public policy responses has been widely recognized in contemporary scholarly analysis, not least within research on crime control, security, and justice. 1 Criminologists and socio-legal scholars have become particularly interested in`extra-jurisdictional' influences that shape policies, and in the potential value of cross-national comparative research in helping us to understand such phenomena.

“…Predominantly, researchers have here been engaged in defining and dissecting the history and birth of this rather novel area of globalized penality (Andreas and Nadelmann, 2006;Boister, 2003;Bowling and Sheptycki, 2012;Christensen and Levi, 2017;Findlay, 2013;McDaniel et al, 2019;Marmo and Chazal, 2016). Others have provided insightful legal and postcolonial critiques of its (dis)function, predispositions and consequences (Ba, 2017;Bergsmo et al, 2020;Bosworth, 2017;Cassese, 2012;Comaroff and Comaroff, 2008;Hönke and Müller, 2016;Lohne, 2017Lohne, , 2019Lohne, , 2020Mullins and Rothe, 2008;Tallgren, 2014;Vasiliev, 2020). Bearing in mind the regular theatrics of transnational criminal justice-of which this special issue introduction has included a few-it is nonetheless surprising that so relatively little attention has been paid to its sundry performative aspects.…”

This special issue sets out to explore the Theatrics of Transnational Criminal Justice. ‘Why’, we ask, ‘do transnational criminal justice actors perform themselves as they do?’ ‘Why are their representations frequently, if not different from, then often quite dramatized versions of the average reality of their practices?’ ‘What does such dramatization tell us about not only the symbolism but also the structure and state of transnational criminal justice?’ And, more generally, ‘what do such performances of transnational criminal justice reveal about the nature of penal power in a global day and age?’ In probing such questions, the special issue draws together a number of accomplished ethnographers who have been exploring the performative nature of transnational criminal justice issues around the world, considering both international bodies such as Frontex, Europol, UNODC, the ICC as well as the many national actors involved in the prevention, policing and prosecution of border-crossing issues.

“…66 Human rights organizations have shown much more willingness to contribute to international criminal prosecutions. 67 Human rights NGOs are at the forefront of the fight against impunity for CRSV, as the criminal justice system offers a tool to enforce human rights. 68 Reports by human rights organizations have therefore also been submitted as evidence before international criminal courts and tribunals.…”

Digital technological innovations make new types of responses to conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) possible, bringing with them both potential promises and pitfalls. Aiming to provide a conceptual starting point for further analysis, this article problematizes the trend towards data extraction in exchange for aid, protection and justice, and argues for the importance of complementing technology-driven approaches to the struggle against CRSV with the inclusion of strategies for user participation and investment in digital literacy as key aspects of the response. To explore how the digital turn shapes the struggle against CRSV, the article offers a three-part analytical framework. First, the article unpacks how digital technologies create corresponding “digital bodies” – comprised of images, information, biometrics and other data stored in digital space – which represent the bodies of individuals affected by sexual violence, and which interplay with the risks posed upon the physical bodies of those facing CRSV. Second, the article maps out the role of digital technologies in a cycle of intervention, including prevention of, response to, documentation of and accountability for CRSV. Third, recognizing the increasing importance of data governance to the struggle against CRSV, the article considers how divergent humanitarian, human rights and international criminal law approaches to data may create different pathways for CRSV data. This could also give rise to new tensions in how international actors approach CRSV.
