This book examines the impact of neoliberalism on society, bringing
to the forefront a discussion of violence and harm, the inherent
inequalities of neoliberalism and the ways in which our everyday
lives in the Global North reproduce and facilitate this violence
and harm. Drawing on a range of contemporary topics such as state
violence, the carceral state, patriarchy, toxic masculinity, death,
sports and entertainment, this book unmasks the banal forms of
violence and harm that are a routine part of life that usurp,
commodify and consume to reify the existing status quo of harm and
inequality. It aims to defamiliarize routine forms of violence and
inequality, thereby highlighting our own participation in its
perpetuation, though consumerism and the consumption of neoliberal
dogma. It is essential reading for students across criminology,
sociology and political philosophy, particularly those engaged with
crimes of the powerful, state crime and social harm.
This book addresses immensely consequential crimes in the world
today that, to date, have been almost wholly neglected by students
of crime and criminal justice: crimes of globalization. This term
refers to the hugely harmful consequences of the policies and
practices of international financial institutions - principally in
the global South. A case is made for characterizing these policies
and practices specifically as crime. Although there is now a
substantial criminological literature on transnational crimes,
crimes of states and state-corporate crimes, crimes of
globalization intersect with, but are not synonymous with, these
crimes. Identifying specific reasons why students of crime and
criminal justice should have an interest in this topic, this text
also identifies underlying assumptions, defines key terms, and
situates crimes of globalization within the criminological
enterprise. The authors also define crimes of globalization and
review the literature to date on the topic; review the current
forms of crimes of globalization; outline an integrated theory of
crimes of globalization; and identify the challenges of controlling
the international financial institutions that perpetrate crimes of
globalization, including the role of an emerging Global Justice
Movement. The authors of this book have published widely on white
collar crime, crimes of states, state-corporate crime and related
topics. This book will be essential reading for academics and
students of crime and criminal justice who, the authors argue, need
to attend to emerging forms of crime that arise specifically out of
the conditions of globalization in our increasingly globalized,
rapidly changing world.
State crime victimization often leaves a legacy of unrecognized
victims that are ignored, forgotten, or negated the right to be
labeled as such. Victims are often glossed over, as the focus is on
a state's actions or inactions rather than the subsequent
victimization and victims. Towards a Victimology of State Crime
serves to highlight the forgotten victims, processes and cases of
revictimization within a sociological, criminological framework.
Contributors include expert scholars of state crime and victimology
from North America, Europe, Africa, and Latin America to provide a
well-rounded focus that can address and penetrate the issues of
victims of state crime. This includes a diverse number of case
study examples of victims of state crime and the systems of control
that facilitate or impede addressing the needs of victims.
Additionally, with the inclusion of a section on controls, this
volume taps into an area that is often overlooked: the
international level of social control in relation to a victimology
of state criminality.

Millions of people have been victimized by the actions and
omissions of states and governments. This collection provides
expert analyses of such victimizations across the world, from
Europe, the United States, and Africa to New Zealand and South
America. Leading scholars in the area of state crime describe the
nature, extent, and distribution of state crime victimization, as
well as theoretical and practical paths for understanding,
explaining, and aiding victims of massive harms by governments.
Cases of state crime and state victimization are presented on
Brazilian, Native American, and New Zealand children, Somalian
Pirates, Columbian, South African, and Bosnian civilians, United
States immigrants, and war crime victimization in World War II.
Other chapters delve into formal and informal ways to address
victimization through the European Court of Human Rights, the
International Criminal Court, and provide analyses of justice
processes around the world. This anthology bridges the latest
thinking, theory and research in the fields of state crime and
victimology and provides a general resource concerning basic issues
related to victimization - particularly victims of state crime. As
such, it fills a major gap in the literature by providing the first
text and scholarly book focused solely on a victimology of state
crime. This book is essential reading for undergraduates,
postgraduates, socio-legal jurists and academics with an interest
in state crime and victimology.

There is no limit to the number of crimes--including acts of
genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity, piracy, drug
smuggling, governmental corruption and illegal intelligence
gathering--committed by various national governments. In STATE
CRIME, the volume editors gather together some of the best new
research on state transgressions, in addition to asking senior
scholars to reflect on their past research and bring it up to
date.The first section of the book features a well-rounded set of
cases exemplifying state criminality, including an examination of
the Holocaust through a criminological framework, and a look at the
illegal aggressions committed by the US army in Iraq. The second
section of the book focuses on various methods for controlling
these governmental transgressions, including domestic legal
sanctions and also international enforcers such as the
International Court of Human Rights. Contributors to this section
of the book examine worldwide policies, such as the international
rule against the assassination of regime elites regardless of the
acts of aggression and criminality committed by them. The book taps
into a previously overloked area that is most relevant for
understanding what policies or responses to governmental crime
would be most effective in constraining the worst acts.
Contributors include leading scholars in criminology such as Ray
Michalowski, David Friedrichs, and Peter Iadicola.

The recently established International Criminal Court (ICC) has
been touted as a major breakthrough in the potential control of
genocide, terrorism, and war crimes. This book explores the
historical origins of the court and provides and examination of the
basic structure and functioning of the court. Rothe and Mullins
offer a detailed critique of procedural, conceptual, and practical
elements of the ICC through the lens of critical criminological
theory and research and identify several problems with the design
and proposed implementation of the ICC. The theoretical analysis
employed shows how the Court is but a small step forward in the
control of crimes by states and state leaders due to its limited
scope., myopic conception of crime, jurisdictional scope, and
minimal compulsory power. Certain to appeal to criminology and
international studies scholars, this volume strives to outline
suggestions for strengthening the court.
