AB Increasing globalisation increases the difficulty of studying crime (and analogous social injury) exponentially and necessitates new methods and theoretical. The current paper proposes a new analytical framework for studying criminogenic policies created bi- or multilaterally which serves several purposes. First, this fills a major gap in the state crime literature that fails to investigate state crimes where more than one state is criminally responsible. Second, the concept of an international criminogenic policy provides a new avenue for studying multiple participating criminal states and begins to explain how policy can create criminogenic conditions. Lastly, the new analytical framework integrates four disparate, major bodies of literature: (1) state-corporate crime/crimes of the powerful literature; (2) world-systems analysis; (3) social structure of accumulation theory; and (4) the concept of the transnational capitalist class. Taken together, the proposed framework offers a lens forstudying complex crimes via policy formation and its consequences.
