Abstract
The ocean is not merely a space used by society; it is one component of the space of society. Philip E. Steinberg, 2001, p.20. The realm of the ocean is scarcely studied by criminologist despite it being a component of the space of society. With the growth of maritime piracy in the past decade, this void has become increasingly palpable. The aim of this paper is to catalyze more research in the field by providing an introduction and overview of the topic. The paper starts by clarifying what piracy is, reviewing and evaluating some of its definitions and typologies. Furthermore, using the new Contemporary Maritime Piracy Database, the paper charts the location of contemporary piracy. The paper outlines factors that have been suggested as precursors of piracy before suggesting some key areas for future research.
