A clarion call to recognize soldiers' rights, arguing that volunteering to fight and die for one's country does not mean consenting to exploitation in the process. American leaders endlessly profess their admiration for military service members. But these effusive declarations hardly comport with reality. Soldiers receive shoddy equipment and inadequate medical care; they are ordered to commit crimes and deployed to illegal wars. Such treatment is rarely recognized for what it is: a violation of the duty owed to soldiers by their government. When American service members are injured or killed during training, for example, they and their families are barred from suing the military for negligence or malfeasance. And when the torture of detainees at Abu Ghraib came to light, the subsequent proceedings focused just on low-ranking perpetrators. The psychological harm done to the soldiers themselves by commanders who ordered them to commit torture in the first place went unacknowledged. Examining statutes, treaties, court cases, and congressional hearings, Saira Mohamed shows how the law encourages the treatment of soldiers as mere instruments, to be used and abused however the government wishes. She also unearths overlooked laws that point in the other direction, suggesting the possibility of robust protections for service members. Paradoxically, these get ignored in part because of the popular adulation of the military--the vision of service members as heroes who selflessly endure unlimited sacrifice. The all-volunteer nature of the force also promotes the misguided notion that soldiers have willingly accepted whatever mistreatment they might endure. What a Country Owes Its Soldiers shows how laws and mindsets can change, enabling genuine respect for soldiers' humanity. Acknowledging their rights can transform our understanding of those who fight America's wars, and of American warmaking itself.

What a Country Owes Its Soldiers

Not so long ago, Russia under Putin appeared to be a corrupt state run by an elite mainly interested in their own privileges and wealth: authoritarian but not fundamentally expansionist. The 2022 invasion of Ukraine made it clear that Putin is driven by far more than simply greed. Putin's Russia is, Andrei Kolesnikov argues, in the grip of intense ideological radicalization, seeking to mobilize its population in support of a form of chauvinistic neo-imperialism using increasingly totalitarian methods. This march towards "hybrid totalitarianism" is driven by a messianic view of Russia as a superior, "spiritual" form of "state-civilization" underpinned by its Orthodox faith and hatred of Western "decadence." Based upon a falsified version of history and a profound hostility to modernization, this ideology is making Russia an international pariah and condemning its citizens to endless war and economic stagnation. The only hope for redemption is a profound moral regeneration which redefines the nation's place in the world and embraces the spirit of democracy. This incisive analysis of the ideological dynamics of late Putinism, written by a leading Russian scholar and journalist, is an indispensable guide to understanding the country's recent descent into war-mongering barbarism.

Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Gangs

Ibero-American Criminal Sciences

This book examines the rise of financial totalitarianism and its profound implications for criminal justice and criminological theory. It explores how the concentration of wealth and social exclusion, driven by corporate CEOs, has altered the role of politics in shaping criminal justice systems. The text argues that these shifts have given rise to a dystopian criminology, marked by a focus on total security, extreme prevention, zero tolerance policies, and pervasive surveillance. It critically assesses how these developments contribute to the criminalization of dissent, foster societal fears of outsiders, and institutionalize ethnic and cultural discrimination, all while maintaining a façade of administrative control. Drawing on historical and contemporary analysis, the book offers a framework for rethinking criminology in the context of financial and political power, advocating for a more critical approach to understanding crime, punishment, and justice in an increasingly unequal world.

“
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 constructs a missing bridge between the two critical discourses of the 20th century that most candidly confronted the emotional and moral features of populism in politics and penalty in the 20th century the confluence of which is now unmistakable in the 21st. Scholars of both fields will owe an enormous debt to this collection and its editors.”

 “This is a ground-breaking collection that showcases what can be gained by using propaganda studies as the lens through which to enliven the criminological imagination. The editors and the contributing authors have produced a text of remarkable range and sophistication, transforming our understanding of “fake news” and the politics of misinformation more generally. It is an outstanding achievement.”

 “A blazing volume that convincingly establishes propaganda as a crucial issue for criminology. The book constitutes a critical intellectual project tracing the common elements in Nazi messaging, the US War on Drugs, Indonesian genocide, far right environmental propaganda in Aotearoa (New Zealand) and Australia and more.”

 “
 Propaganda Studies in Criminology 
 breaks new ground for the field by taking propaganda seriously as a topic. It does so in diverse and novel domains that open up the propaganda lens in a way that is theoretically fertile and substantively interesting.”

 , Distinguished Professor, Australian National University, Australia
 This edited collection comprehensively introduces propaganda studies to criminology academics, practitioners and students. It brings to life the challenges of analyzing, researching and responding to the problems of propaganda. It uses a broad definition of ‘propaganda’ to include such phenomena as ‘fake news’ and AI or algorithmic methods of control. It includes some more classic readings and analysis of propaganda studies through contemporary case studies, such as the war on drugs. It provides a key resource for research and teaching.Deborah H.

Propaganda Studies in Criminology

In Debatten um Wohlstand, insbesondere in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften, spielt Ethik oft nur eine untergeordnete Rolle. Aber Fragen des Wohlstands werfen immer auch ethische Fragen auf. Was heißt es, Wohlstand als ethische Fragestellung zu begreifen? Der Autor stellt die ethische Dimension des Begriffs in Kontexten wie Wachstum und Ungleichheit heraus und gibt einen Überblick darüber, welche Werte und Ethik-Konzepte Orientierung bieten.

Palgrave Studies in Green Criminology

This edited collection&nbsp;critically assesses and furthers the debates surrounding the meaning of ‘justice’ in a world grappling with intersecting ecological crises.&nbsp;In response to the growing urgency of the climate, biodiversity, and pollution crises, scholars across the globe are rethinking how to conceptualise "justice" in relation to human and more-than-human victimhood, harm, repair, and resistance. Within the framework of green criminology, this reimagining often marks a shift away from human- and crime-centred paradigms. This book explores the wide and expanding array of justice frameworks that have emerged in the field, including restorative justice, environmental justice, climate justice, multi-species justice, reparative justice, spatial justice, ecological justice, transitional justice, water justice, and even invertebrate justice, predominantly focusing on perspectives from New Zealand/Aotearoa and Australia. By addressing critical issues such as restorative justice in the context of environmental harm, the evolving landscape of non-human animal rights, the impact of floods and fires exacerbated by climate change, and pressing concerns surrounding water justice, the book provides both a conceptual foundation and practical insights that resonate universally. It&nbsp;speaks to the urgent need for actionable strategies to address environmental harm, making it invaluable for government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and advocacy groups seeking evidence-based solutions.Rachel Killean

A Green Criminological Perspective

Conceptualising Justice

Precarious Futures
 &nbsp;explores the evolving and emerging relationship between crime and technology in an increasingly complex and interconnected world, along with its implications for new perceptions of crime and deviance. It evaluates the rise of the World Wide Web and the model of cybercrime, questions whether existing criminological thought offers relevance and efficacy in current circumstances, conditions and future predictions, and revisits the concept of Relative Deprivation and&nbsp;the underpinning social psychological and socio-political foundations of it. It argues that&nbsp;Relative Deprivation&nbsp;allied to post-industrial precarity provides a central platform for understanding crime and deviance in a hyper-connected and hyper-commercial neoliberal world.&nbsp;The book develops to explore current criminological and security conceptions of artificial intelligence, big data, crime and social control, as well as hacktivism, and how opportunities for crime have become ‘democratised’ and expanded through the Web. Drawing&nbsp;on empirical data, theoretical narratives and a review of the state of crime now and in a speculative near future, Hamerton and Webber discuss some potential directions for a new transdisciplinary critical criminology.&nbsp;

Crime, Technology and the Web

Precarious Futures

This book critically examines violence and violent crime through sociological, psychological, and theoretical perspectives, analyzing the complex relationships between policing, community conflict, and crime control. Bringing together leading experts, it explores the underlying factors that contribute to violence, the impact of police practices, and the challenges of balancing law enforcement with public trust. The chapters are organized thematically to address key issues, including the psychology of violence, the role of communities in crime prevention, police brutality and accountability, and the increasing violence targeting law enforcement. Taking a global and comparative approach, the book investigates case studies from North America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the Pacific to assess how different societies respond to violent crime. It further considers policy implications, proposing evidence-based strategies to reduce violence, improve policing practices, and enhance institutional integrity in an evolving security landscape.
