GREEN AND WARD
This collection also illustrates the close parallels between state crim
developed and developing world. As Green demonstrates, corruption, c
links between state elites and criminal networks are almost identical
Turkey, despite their different levels of economic and political deve
approach applied to the United States by Kramer and Michalowski in t
developed by their colleagues elsewhere (Kramer 1992; Kauzlarich and
Matthews and Kauzlarich 2000), can equally be applied to Honduras or N
and Ward 2004: Chapter 3).
Another area of growing interest within criminology is the possibility o
victims of state crime. The final three papers in the volume explore the is
public inquiries, international criminal justice and truth and reconcili
sions. Scraton and Rolston discuss the shortcomings of public inquiries by
into other state officials. The limitations of international criminal justice
same critical attention as its domestic counterparts. The ICC faces obvious
not least the linkage of US aid to immunity from prosecution (Global
2004) and the US refusal to accept its jurisdiction. Roche extends the
retributive and restorative justice to the ICC, arguing that truth commiss
forms of reconciliation, provided they meet certain standards of justice, w
preferable to international prosecutions. But truth commissions also have
as Stanley argues: most notably, their inability to recognize and challenge
ized patterns of inequality.
Criminology has also been guilty of a failure to recognize state crime
the contribution of state agencies to the world's homicide rates and the sc
economic crimes, the space devoted to state crime in the literature of
remains pitifully small. The teaching of a growing number of courses on s
well as the increasing body of scholarly work on the subject, indicate that c
are beginning—but only beginning—to remedy this omission.
