This research network combines WUN and non-WUN partners with interests in a range of inter-related themes that coalesce around the internationalisation of crime control, by exploring questions of comparison (both convergences and divergences) in the development of policy, norms and institutional infrastructures. The network is interested in both the development of international institutions and processes, as well as comparisons between national and sub-national developments. Questions about policy transfer, lesson-drawing and international trends in the coordination and delivery of modes of criminal justice and crime control are at the forefront of research concerns within this network.
