Core reading for this module
Essential essay reading which is a comprehensive study of Corporate,State and Crime in which a critical analysis is developed by leading authors in criminological studies. A singularly important book which involves a wide range of criminological theoretical insights into state power and corporate crime.
I have recommended this text to my students studying children, young people and crime. There is a fantastic chapter by Janet Jamieson and Joe Yates. I found this chapter and book excellent for helping students to think more critically about crime and justice!
This represents an excellent undergraduate text which discusses an number of important issues for our Terrorism studies course. We will be asking the library to acquire some copies and recommending it to students for important further reading.
First and foremost, this is an excellent text which critically explores the relationship between the state and crime. But unfortunately it is not appropriate for this particular first-year module due to it not having a clear enough relationship with the module outcomes at this level of learning. However, having inspected the book it may be able to contribute a great deal to our third year and post-graduate modules and I will pass it on to the relevant module leaders for consideration.
A fantastic book that incorporates a range of perspectives on the intersecting aspects of state, power and crime within late modernity. Building on the groundbreaking 1970s book, Policing the Crisis, State, Power, Crime situates contemporary social problems within the context of neoliberal and late modern developments.
An excellent text which brings together the key issues surrounding the question of criminal justice and 'the state'. Well written, informative and an essential read for any social sciences students
An excellent collection of critical essays written by leaders in the field of state crime and critical criminology. An interesting and important range of topics with a well constructed introduction from the editors.
The course that this book was intended for is cancelled.
This book offers a broad critical evaluation of the relationship between the state, power and crime in liberal democratic states. Although the collection of essays primarily deals with issues within the United Kingdom, the central theme of this edition and theoretical insights offered are directly applicable in cognate jurisdictions.
A very good introduction to the sociology of law as it covers so many aspects: racism;sexuality; class; youth etc. It is useful for students to read a discussion on media and also 'terrorism'. I was pleased to see a useful antidote to right wing cliches in Chapter 8 (Violence and the State' and chapter 10 (Intelligence, Terrorism and the State). Many new interesting perspectives for students new to the area.
This book deals with concepts too complex for the level of students that I am currently teaching, however, I will use it with my PhD students.
A wonderful collection of different, yet coherent insights in the relation between the state, it's power, and that which is exercised upon populations - and how. A key reader for the broader understanding of state crime perspectives.
There are many important chapters in this edited book.
This is an engagaing and necessary book about the intricate relationship between state, power and crime
Good clear text which provides the framework to understand the concept of crime, control and the state. It provides a critique to many main stream theories of crime.
Useful for undergraduate level course in Criminal Justice Policy, but most useful for post-graduate students studying in this area.
This book provides an essential critique of the state and its relationship with crime. It expands and informs any critical analysis of crime and will continue to inform my teaching on the state and state crime
An excellent book, highly recommended to students
A very good text that covers a wide variety of topics. Highly recommended to those students keen on exploring key issues from a variety of authors in a single text.
