Description
Subject Area: Criminology
This module draws on some of the material previously taught in the criminology elective Crime, Power and Human Rights (CRIM 2018). It provides an overview of the criminological debates about state crime as a means of discussing some of the wider concerns of critical criminology. The course introduces students to some of the issues associated with the establishment of an international system of criminal justice. It also introduces students to some of the contemporary research being undertaken by criminologists into organised human rights abuses committed by states. Topics covered include: war crimes; modern and colonial genocide; immigration detention; torture and rendition; natural distaster as state crime; the International Criminal Court and resistance to state crime.
