Abstract
This chapter offers a criminological perspective on the peripheral effects of war. The idea behind this chapter is not to take away attention from important subjects, like genocide, but rather to highlight other impactful matters related to war and its consequences (i.e., the misplacement of people). Some of these might potentially apply to other countries bordering conflict zones. Of importance was the examination of both the direct and indirect impacts of the war on society. This chapter focuses on the complex and often ambiguous nature of crime and security issues that arise in the broader context of war beyond direct combat activities. This highlights the need to understand and address these issues to fully grasp the impact of war on societies and individuals. To this end, it offers real-world scenarios rooted in Poland to illustrate how conflicts spill over into neighbouring regions while especially considering human and citizen rights violations, hybrid warfare, global surveillance, the infosphere, domestic and foreign interferences, shadow economies, surveillance architecture, safeguarding rights, new war geographies, financial tactics, cyber warfare, new warfare means, and grey zones.
