Mullins (crime, delinquency, and corrections; Southern Illinois U.-Carbondale) and Rothe (criminology, Old Dominion U., Virginia) explore the causes, nature, and dynamics of genocides, war crimes, and crimes against humanity committed in Africa during the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Historians, lawyers, and political scientists have all discussed these events, they say, and it is time that criminologists had their say. They do not provide an index.
