This question is at the core of the multi- and interdisciplinary field of perpetrator studies, a developing field which this book assesses in its full breadth for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerpetrators of International Crimes\u003c\/em\u003e analyses the most prominent theories, methods, and evidence to determine what we know, what we think we know, as well as the ethical implications of gathering this knowledge. It traces the development of perpetrator studies whilst pushing the boundaries of this\u003cbr\u003eemerging field. The book includes contributions from experts from a wide array of disciplines, including criminology, history, law, sociology, psychology, political science, religious studies, and anthropology. They cover numerous case studies, including prominent ones such as Nazi Germany, Rwanda, \u003cbr\u003eand the former Yugoslavia, but also those that are relatively under researched and more recent, such as Sri Lanka and the Islamic State. These have been investigated through various research methods, including but not limited to, trial observations and interviews.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alette Smeulers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 416\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.20d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198829997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlette Smeulers, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Criminal Law and Criminology of International Crimes, University of Groningen\u003c\/em\u003e, Maartje Weerdesteijn, \u003cem\u003eAssistant Professor, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\u003c\/em\u003e, Barbora Hola, \u003cem\u003eSenior Researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR) and\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlette Smeulers is Professor of Criminal Law and Criminology of International Crimes at the University of Groningen.
