Description
State crime refers to the illegal actions of governments and their agents. This phenomenon has been largely overlooked in academic research, with most studies focusing on individual and organisational deviance. However, state crime is now evident in many parts of the world, including conflicts over human rights and national security.
The study of state crime poses significant challenges due to definitional, conceptual, theoretical, and methodological problems. This book offers a preliminary model for controlling state crime, with the aim of stimulating scholarly research and debate among policymakers and practitioners.
Students of political science and criminology, as well as those interested in human rights and world affairs, will find this book compelling reading. The author's intention is to encourage reflection on methods used to prevent state transgressions.
