| Summary: | Nicole Rafter has provided a wide-ranging comparative criminological study of genocide. Rafter, a celebrated feminist criminologist, undertakes a multilevel inquiry drawing from eight case studies all of which she characterizes as genocide: the Katyn Forest Genocide, the Herero Genocide, the Indonesian Genocide, the Cambodian Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Nazi genocide of the disabled, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Guatemalan Genocide. Accessible in style, this book serves as a good introduction to the application of criminological theories to genocide. My review will focus on three empirical and theoretical facets of the book: Rafter’s application of victim-precipitation theories, her analysis of gender and genocide, and her mobilization of case studies. |
