First issue of new journal State Crime published

The International State Crime Initiative is delighted to announce the publication of the first issue of State Crime, launched at King's College London by Noam Chomsky in October last year.

State Crime is the first peer-reviewed, international journal that seeks to disseminate leading research on the illicit practices of states. The concept of state crime is not confined to legally recognised states but can include any authority that exerts political and military control over a substantial territory. The journal’s focus is a reflection of the growing awareness within criminology that state criminality is endemic and acts as a significant barrier to security and development.

The first edition includes Noam Chomsky's article 'Changing Contours of World Order', which he presented at the journal launch at King's last October.

For further information, including the contents of the first issue, details regarding subscriptions and calls for papers, please see the International State Crime Initiative website.
