For the past two decades, scholars have examined how and why States violate their own laws and international law and explored what can be done to reduce or prevent these injustices. Through a collection of essays by leading scholars in the field, \u003ci\u003eState Crime\u003c\/i\u003e offers a set of cases exemplifying state criminality along with various methods for controlling governmental transgressions. With topics ranging from crimes of aggression to nuclear weapons to the construction and implementation of social controls, this volume is an indispensable resource for those who examine the behavior of States and those who study crime in its varied forms. \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"An admirable collection of case studies by leading scholars that illuminate the historical and modern contours of state crime.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e -- Barbara Perry * University of Ontario Institute of Technology *\u003cbr\u003e\"Given recent highly injurious acts committed by governments around the world, this riveting book is essential reading for scholars, students, activists, and policy makers.
