Series: New Horizons in Criminology

With the academic study of 'war' gaining renewed popularity within

criminology in recent years, this book illustrates the long-standing

engagement with this social phenomenon within the discipline.

Foregrounding established criminological work addressing war and

connecting it to a wide range of extant sociological literature, the

authors present and further develop theoretical and conceptual ways

of thinking critically about war. Within this book, whilst providing an implicit critique of mainstream criminology the authors seek to

question if a 'criminology of war' is possible, and if so how this

seemingly 'new horizon' of the discipline might be usefully informed

by sociology.

Reviews for A Criminology of War?

''Solidly grounded in inter- and intra-disciplinary scholarship, McGarry and Walklate provide a sophisticated and critical analysis of complex connections between war and criminology. While bringing the study of war closer to the centre of modern criminological enterprise, this book will attract serious attention far beyond it'.'' Ali Wardak, University of South Wales
