The Dynamics of Political Crime Bewertungen

"This book is not only an excellent and up-to-date review of the literature on political crime, but it also builds on the strengths of previous research in developing an interdisciplinary explanation that implicates individuals, situations, organizations, and resource adequacies. The book is a well-informed, balanced, and compelling presentation of traditional and contemporary theoretical concerns that confront directly the interaction between antisystemic crime and state crime. This book is a superb engagement that finally moves crime research well beyond its ethnocentric borders toward a more inclusionary framework of comparative thought." -- Livy Visano
"Rosss book will likely provide hours of discussion and opportunities for students and readers to deconstruct the text and to ascribe meaning to it." -- Christopher A. Simon
