Series: Routledge Studies in Crime and Society

It is widely observed that the study of war has been paid limited attention within criminology. This is intellectually curious given that acts of war have occurred persistently throughout history and perpetuate criminal acts, victimisation and human rights violations on a scale unprecedented with domestic levels of crime. However, there are authoritative voices within criminology who have been studying war from the borders of the discipline.

This book contains a selection of criminological authors who have been authoritatively engaged in studying criminology and war. Following an introduction that ‘places war within criminology’ the collection is arranged across three themed sections including: Theorising War, Law and Crime; Linking War and Criminal Justice; and War, Sexual Violence and Visual Trauma. Each chapter takes substantive topics within criminology and victimology (i.e. corporate crime, history, imprisonment, criminal justice, sexual violence, trauma, security and crime control to name but a few) and invites the reader to engage in critical discussions relating to wars both past and present.

The chapters within this collection are theoretically rich, empirically diverse and come together to create the first authoritative published collection of original essays specifically dedicated to criminology and war. Students and researchers alike interested in war, critical criminology and victimology will find this an accessible study companion that centres the disparate criminological attention to war into one comprehensive collection.

This insightful volume takes a large new step toward establishing the study of war as a field that increasingly attracts many of the best of the next generation of criminologists.’ - John Braithwaite, Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia ‘Walklate and McGarry have produced a wide-ranging and inclusive collection of essays on criminology and war. This book is necessary reading for anyone interested in the study of war, resistance, state violence, and criminology.’ - David Kauzlarich, Professor, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville, USA 'The book's chapters, bracketed by an introduction and a postscript, are organized into three parts: ""Theorizing War, Law and Crime""; ""Linking War and Criminal Justice""; and ""War, Sexual Violence and Visual Trauma.""
