"An admirable collection of case studies by leading scholars that illuminate the historical and modern contours of state crime."
- Barbara Perry (University of Ontario Institute of Technology) "Given recent highly injurious acts committed by governments around the world, this riveting book is essential reading for scholars, students, activists, and policy makers. A timely and much needed contribution to the field." - Walter DeKeseredy (author of Contemporary Critical Criminology) "There has been a paucity of research on state crime, but this volume makes an important contribution to the literature and should not only stimulate further research on state crime, but also contribute to social policies that seek to reduce it. Highly recommended." (Choice)
