Stressing on human rights protection, the rule of international law and global justice, the 300-page book criticises pacifism and realism. The author has described cases of the Persian Gulf War, Somalia, Bosnia, and Rwanda to illustrate his argument. Questioning justice after war, this controversial book demands reform in existing international laws. </p>.<p><strong>Security and Crime: Converging Perspectives on a Complex World</strong></p>.<p><strong>Author:</strong> Alison Wakefield</p>.<p>This 2021 book draws the relationship between crime and security by giving some clarity on their interdisciplinary nature. By emphasizing politics, academic scholarships, and criminological discourse, the author has included chapter overviews, key<br />terminologies, and study questions to help students who are pursuing a degree in criminal justice and international relations.</p>
