ACKNOWLDGEMENT AND FOREWORD FROM THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
Adwitia Maity · Contemporary Challenges The Global Crime Justice and Security Journal · 2022
The third volume of the "Contemporary Challenges: The Global Crime, Justice and Security Journal" marks our growth, slow but steady.We had set out three years back with an aim of consolidating a rich collection of literature on the theme of global crime, justice and security, and in keeping with the scope of the journal, the second volume went on to accept and feature submissions from authors outside of the University of Edinburgh as well.This edition's essays and commentary link a number of academic fields, such as law, criminology, political science, and international relations.They also span a number of geographical areas and discuss transnational and global topics.In this edition, while Nishat and Hossain in their submission discussed genocide of Bengali intellectuals in Bangladesh in the light of 1948 Genocide Convention, with a specific focus on how such killings would aptly fit the definition of genocide set out in the convention, Yu-Hsuan delved into a theoretical analysis of the discipline of Critical Criminology as a whole and explored the directions it could resort to in future.
