In modern times, the most egregious crimes are undoubtedly those
committed, incited, or condoned by states (as well as by "de facto
"authorities exerting political and military control over a
substantial territory, such as FARC in Colombia). Indeed, both
within and without the academy, there is a growing realization that
state criminality is endemic, and acts as a significant barrier to
global security and development.
Now, to make some sense of this flourishing site of research,
and to understand the wide range of approaches and complex theories
that have informed thinking in this area, Routledge announces a new
title in its acclaimed Critical Concepts in Criminology series.
Edited by leading scholars with an international reputation, "State
Crime "is a definitive, four-volume collection of cutting-edge and
foundational research.
Topics covered include:
- genocide and other forms of politically organized mass
killing;
- war crimes;
- crimes of empire and state terror;
- state-corporate crime; and
- state-organized crime and political and economic
corruption.
This vital Routledge collection brings together the major works
on state crime. It will be welcomed not just by criminologists, but
also by practising lawyers, philosophers, and thinkers in related
disciplines.
