ABSTRACT

Over the past several decades, Peter Grabosky's influential theoretical and empirical contributions have shaped scholarly debates occurring at the intersection of criminal justice and regulation – pushing forward the development of such concepts as regulatory pluralism and co-production in the pursuit of crime control objectives. This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts discussed in the previous chapters of this book. The chapters have directly, or indirectly drawn on some aspect of this three-dimensional pyramid – illustrating how Grabosky's contributions have deeply influenced new regulatory research, applicable across a wide range of regulatory domains, including cyberspace, maritime security, public health, drugs, gambling, transnational environmental crime and public prosecutions. This conclusion summarises these findings, ties them together and sketches potential future directions for those seeking to embark upon further research at the interface of regulation and criminal justice.
