Reviews
'Alvarez's work is an excellent foray into a previously underutilized paradigm with which to pursue a better and more accurate understanding of genocide...Highly Recommended.' - Choice, September 2010  '...considering this clearly written book actually covers an immense amount of ground in just 144 pages-Genocidal Crimes' remarkable combination of clarity and breadth renders it an indisputable success.' 'It is an easy read, comprehensive yet concise, and probably the perfect introductory primer for criminologists of all levels.' '...Genocidal Crimes is more than Alvarez's rather modest claim to provide his readership with a "good overview"; it is a succinct, largely complete and thus excellent "jigsaw" of thinking on genocide...and I would strongly recommend it as a first port of call to any of my colleagues and students interested in exploring the topic of genocide studies.' -Nestar Russell, Nipissing University, in State Crime vol 1 no 1, 'Alvarez's work is an excellent foray into a previously underutilized paradigm with which to pursue a better and more accurate understanding of genocide...Highly Recommended.'

Synopsis
Genocide has emerged as one of the leading problems of the twentieth century. No corner of the world seems immune from this form of collective violence. While many individuals are familiar with the term, few people have a clear understanding of what genocide is and how it is carried out. This book clearly discusses the concept of genocide and dispels the widely held misconceptions about how these crimes occur and the mechanisms necessary for its perpetration. Genocidal Crimes differs from much of the writing on the subject in that it explicitly relies upon the criminological literature to explain the nature and functioning of genocide. Criminology, with its focus on various types of criminality and violence, has much to offer in terms of explaining the origins, dynamics, and facilitators of this particular form of collective violence. Through application of a number of criminological theories to various elements of genocide Alex Alvarez presents a comprehensive analysis of this particular crime. These criminological perspectives are underpinned by a variety of psychological, sociological, and political science based insights in order to present a more complete discussion of the nature and functioning of genocide., Genocidal Crimes draws upon the extensive criminological literature on criminality and violence to provide a comprehensive and contemporary analysis of genocide. Written in an accessible style, this book differs from much of the writing on genocide in that it explicitly relies on criminological theory and research to help provide new insight into the nature and functioning of genocide.

    The book was in excellent condition, as described in the listing, and was excellently packaged, arriving in unblemished condition. The shipping time was very quick. While the listing showed the book with a dust jacket, the book did not come with one. I brought this to the attention of the seller, who responded to me right away, and was satisfied with the seller's explanation. I have to say that the service was in every way outstanding.

    The book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
