Reviews

This book is long overdue. Rothe and Kauzlarich expose the most pervasive forms of victimization, and have given voice to the millions of people that have been victimized by states. States, since their inception, have had a monopoly on violence and oppression. This book demands our attention. Rick Matthews, Professor of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Carthage College, USA. Towards a Victimology of State Crime is a book long overdue in the evolving field of state crime. Dawn Rothe and David Kauzlarich have assembled an outstanding team of experts to advance our understanding of state violence and highlight the victimization that is all too often glossed over or ignored in the state crime literature. By placing a spotlight on the experiences of victims of state crime and further illuminating the causes and consequences of state-sanctioned violence, Rothe and Kauzlarich have laid the foundation for significant progress in the empirical and theoretical realms of explaining state criminality and victimization. Dr. Emily Lenning, Assistant Professor, Fayetteville State University, USA. State crime exacts a significant human toll; it destroys communities and burdens entire generations. Yet criminologists have devoted very little attention to the experience and struggle of state crime's victims. Consequently, Towards a Victimology of State Crime is a timely and important intervention. Its rigorous and stimulating range of international case studies - composed by leading scholars in the field - will help push victimology debates in the right direction. Dr Kristian Lasslett, Lecturer in Criminology, University of Ulster and member of the International State Crime Initiative's Executive Board, Ireland, UK. In pulling together this excellent collection of essays on state crimes and victimization from around the globe, Rothe and Kauzlarich have not only helped to fill a gap in the existing literature, by connecting these two areas of criminological theory and practice, but they have also provided a launching pad for navigating the complexities of state crime victimization. Gregg Barak, Professor of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Eastern Michigan University, USA.
