Academic research on state crime has focused on the illegal actions
of individuals and organizations (i.e., syndicates and
corporations). Interchangeably labeled governmental crime,
delinquency, illegality, or lawlessness, official deviance and
misconduct, crimes of obedience, and human rights violations, state
crime has largely been considered in relation to insurgent violence
or threats to national security. Generally, it has been seen as a
phenomenon endemic to authoritarian countries in transitional and
lesser developed contexts. We need look no further than today's
headlines to see the evidence of state crime. Rwanda, where
government troops massacred countless Hutus and Tutsis,
governmental atrocities in Kosovo, at the hands of the Yugoslavian
Army, and East Timor where both individuals and property have been
decimated, largely perpetrated by the Indonesian military.The study
of how to control state crime has been difficult. There are
definitional, conceptual, theoretical, and methodological problems,
as well as difficulties in designing of practical methods to
abolish, combat, control or resist this type of behavior. Jeffrey
Ian Ross reviews these shortcomings, then develops a preliminary
model of ways to control state crime. His intention is stimulating
scholarly research and debate, but also encouraging
progressive-minded policymakers and practitioners who work for
governmental and nongovernmental organizations. The hope is that
they will reflect upon the methods they advocate or use to minimize
state transgressions. This new edition will be of compelling
interest to students of political science and criminology, as well
as general readers interested in human rights, state crime, and
world affairs.
