Routledge State Crime and Resistance - Criminology Book

Explore a new perspective on criminology with State Crime and Resistance. While the state is often treated as a neutral force in legal studies, this book examines the state as an active participant in criminal activity. It addresses the serious and harmful nature of state-led crimes, which often exceed the impact of individual offenses. This volume fills a significant gap in current research by focusing on the history and impact of resistance to state crime. It looks at how these actions can be contested, prevented, challenged, or stopped. By bringing together perspectives from leading scholars in the UK, USA, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand, the book provides a global understanding of how society responds to state-level misconduct. Ideal for students, researchers, and legal professionals, this text offers a deeper look into the dynamics of power and accountability. It moves beyond traditional criminology to provide a comprehensive view of how state crimes are identified and resisted on a global scale.
