An Introduction to Political Crime
"Jeffrey Ian Ross, a pioneering, prolific and perceptive criminological scholar of political (and state) crime and its control, here provides those engaged with the study of such crime with an up-to-date mapping of the terrain." David O. Friedrichs, Professor of  Sociology/Criminal Justice & Distinguished University Fellow, University of Scranton (Pennsylvania, USA).  "The most comprehensive and accessible treatment of political crime, that not only incorporates the emerging literature on state crime but also occupational crimes and those committed against a government or state. Additionally, readers are given important historical examples to help the reader better contextualize the information." Dawn L Rothe, PhD., Chair, American Society of Criminology, Division of Critical Criminology Director,  International State Crime Research Consortium, ISCRC Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, Old Dominion University Norfolk, VA.  "Traditionally, scholars of criminology and political science have had little to say to each other. This immensely valuable book succeeds admirably in bridging these disciplinary silos. Focusing on the intersection of crime and politics, it is a wonderfully accessible work that will appeal to students, teachers, and other readers alike." Peter Grabosky, Australian National University.  "Jeffrey Ross' book on the politics of crime and the crimes of politics is a most welcome text for the undergraduate student. It treats this most challenging and important of topics in a systematic, balanced and clearly presented fashion. " Gary T. Marx, Professor Emeritus, Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
