Summary

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.

A Criminology of War? by Ross Mcgarry

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.
''Solidly grounded in inter- and intra-disciplinary scholarship, McGarry and Walklate provide a sophisticated and critical analysis of complex connections between war and criminologyWhile 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

Ross McGarry is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Social Policy and Criminology at the University of Liverpool.
