"This book is a valuable addition to the growing literature on state crime. The cases are well researched and well explored. The international approach, and international sampling of authors, is extremely valuable, as is each contributor's discussion on potential control [of state crime].

This book is a tremendously valuable contribution to the newly emergent criminological study of state crime, and will provide a major point of departure for subsequent work." Prof. David O. Friedrichs University of Scranton.

"What we consider as democracies nowadays are grounded on organized state international crime, as this book has shown through research carried out in major advanced countries." Prof. Roberto Bergalli University of Barcelona.
