TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Globalization, Conduct Norms and 'Culture Conflict': Perceptions of Violence and Crime in an Ethnic Albanian Context JO - British journal of criminology A1 - Arsovska, J. A1 - Verduyn, P. SP - 226 EP - 246 VL - 48 IS - 2 N2 - The paper examines whether violence in contemporary Albania is a structured phenomenon linked to Albanian customary laws, such as the Kanun of Lek Dukagjini, or whether it is a product of social confusion and culture conflict'. It argues that the expansion of Western legal norms in the Albanian territories has caused a culture conflict' within the society, which has subsequently led to an increase in crime. The conclusions drawn are based on a cross-national survey with ethnic Albanian respondents from Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia, carried out during 2006.
