Rezensionen

'The value of this collection lies in the fact that it goes further than simply charting state-perpetrated harms and denouncing them as examples of state terror. It also provides a robust analytical and comparative framework within which the phenomenon of state terrorism can be defined, conceptualized and addressed.' - Nesam McMillan, State Crime, 2012

'...this is an important and challenging book that addresses fundamental issues of state practice. The authors develop arguments that are both compelling and subtle. While the book adds to the wider literature on state crime and will be valuable to those teaching across a range of disciplines, it also provides a solid platform for future criminological research.' - Michael Grewcock, The Australian and New Zealand Journal of Criminology
