Description

Dawn L. Rothe, ed.

This issue of Social Justice is dedicated to resisting crimes of the state. It explores an area of scholarship that has received little attention to date: the role that acts of resistance could or do play in efforts to control or constrain the criminality of states. Authors examine some of the most egregious and systemic crimes, from genocide, mass murder, and environmental catastrophes, to the ongoing bombing of civilians. One of the most disheartening lessons of history is that active forms of resistance to such crimes of states, by those who potentially could engage in one or another form, are not the norm. Contributors explore the most useful mechanisms available for reversing this pattern of impunity.
