'This brilliantly edited book illuminates the many facets of state crime in ways that challenge conventional thinking about crime in general, above all by its overall critical approach to ‘street crime’ as the principal focus of societal concern. It shifts the attention of readers to war, poverty, environment, and the denial human rights, as perpetuated by linked corporate and state power as the prime crimes of our time.'Richard Falk, Professor of International Law Emeritus, Princeton University.'State complicity in war crimes and genocide is often relegated to the margins of polite society, it's far easier blaming individuals or rogue nations for the worst of crimes, but this essential work details how Western-backed states such as Israel are leading the way in developing the most innovative and brutal ways of erasing 'unwanted peoples. Read this as a warning.'Antony Loewenstein, independent journalist, film-maker and author of the global best-selling book, The Palestine Laboratory 'I have worked with the ISCI team and know how important and rigorous their work is. This collection advances a critical new way of thinking about crime by focusing on the crimes of the powerful rather than the powerless. The outstanding range of contributors demonstrates the enormity of the real crime problem.'Peter Oborne, Journalist'As a live, televised, genocide unfolds in from of our eyes, we need answers to the question of the state and how the most extreme violence is organised and made possible only with the support of our governments. The Handbook of State Crime assembles a hugely impressive group writers and thinkers that seek those answers. This is an indispensable book for our times'.Dave Whyte, Professor of Climate Justice, Queen Mary University'Breaks new ground in the 21st century study of state crime. More than a review of past state crimes, it offers important insights into social harms currently emanating from centers of political power'. Raymond Michalowski, Regents Professor, Northern Arizona University
