State crimes are historically and contemporarily ubiquitous and
result in more injury and death than traditional street crimes such
as robbery, theft, and assault. Consider that genocide during the
20th century in Germany, Rwanda, Darfur, Albania, Turkey, Ukraine,
Cambodia, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and other regions claimed the lives
of tens of millions and rendered many more homeless, imprisoned,
and psychologically and physically damaged. Despite the gravity of
crimes committed by states and political leaders, until recently
these harms have been understudied relative to conventional street
crimes in the field of criminology. Over the past two decades, a
growing number of criminologists have conducted rigorous research
on state crime and have tried to disseminate it widely including
attempts to develop courses that specifically address crimes of the
state. Referencing a broad range of cases of state crime and
international institutions of control, State Criminality provides a
general framework and survey-style discussion of the field for
teaching undergraduate and graduate students, and serves as a
useful general reference point for scholars of state crime.
