This authoritative Handbook explores new developments in scholarship on state criminality, highlighting how private capital, corporations, and states' interests intersect. Expert contributors demonstrate that state criminality is not a deviation from governance but one of its central logics, embedded in capitalism and neoliberal logics, patriarchalism, empire, and global governance.

Reflecting recent global events and concerns, the Handbook examines digital governance, financial harm, gender, colonialism, immigration, and atrocity violence. From environmental harms and trafficking, to crypto, sports, and space expansionism, the Handbook moves beyond the earlier definitional issues and efforts of establishing the topic as a legitimate field of inquiry. It provides a cross-section of the variety of work that is encapsulated under the umbrella of state criminality.

The Handbook on State Criminality is a valuable resource for scholars and students of white-collar crime, state and corporate crime, crimes of the powerful, as well as politics, public policy, and sociology more broadly. Practitioners in criminal law and policymakers regulating global governance will also greatly benefit from the insights provided.
