THEORETICAL CRIMINOLOGY: SPECIAL ISSUE
War, Crime and Human Rights (Volume 7 Issue 3 - August 2003)
With an introduction by Ruth Jamieson
This Special Issue of Theoretical Criminology addresses issues ranging from
the aetiology of vindictiveness to peacemaking with paramilitaries. This
issue reflects the fact that most contemporary wars - including the
deadliest - are internal civil conflicts. The emphasis therefore, is on the
local expression of global processes, politics and sentiments. This issue
makes no claims to exhaustive coverage of the field of war, crime and human
rights. Rather it offers a diverse set of commentaries on how war an human
rights issues play out close to home in particular civil societies and how
these wars - both real and metaphorical - serve as an "axis of social
re-ordering" This Special Issue confirms the journal's commitment to
publishing agenda setting criminological debates.
