Criminal Entrepreneurship, Illicit Profits, and Private Sector Security Governance

The Private Sector and Organized Crime

'Sophisticated, accessible, and enriching, this fascinating book weaves together complex theoretical debates about sex, sexuality, sexual identity, power, domination, and violence with moving personal histories of both victims and perpetrators of sexual violence during Peru's internal armed conflict (1980-2000). Drawing on her empirical research, Boesten complicates the 'rape as a weapon of war' narrative that has become predominant in much of the literature on gender, violence, and war by distinguishing between different 'rape regimes,' including rape as a weapon of war but also as a commodity for the pleasure of soldiers, used to reinforce military masculinities and complicities. Boesten also complicates the narrative of gender-based violence by exploring how such violence is often underpinned by other hierarchies of difference, including race and class. In this sense, the Peruvian case is particularly relevant, and Boesten's discussion of it is fascinating and novel.' - Jo-Marie Burt, George Mason University, USA

"There is a sense of urgency about this book. How can we understand sexual violence? Why is it neglected by the courts and politicians? What can be done about it? Jelke Boesten helps us think differently about transitional justice." - Joanna Bourke, Birkbeck, University of London, UK

"This book is a timely contribution to a new wave of research on sexual violence and its legacies. Boesten's detailed account of transitional and post-transitional justice in Peru underscores the challenges of addressing sexual and gender-based violence, and provides insights into how practitioners may achieve a greater measure of gender justice in Peru and beyond." - Kimberly Theidon, Harvard University, USA

“Author Peter R. Almond, Ph. D., used Grimmett’s journals, notes and scientific documents to paint an intimate portrait of the man’s journey from England to Texas and the resolve Grimmett dedicated to the effort to see that his life’s work and the widespread application of radiation therapy would become a reality. … This is a good resource for those looking for a research reference and a nice retrospective for connoisseurs of medical history … .” (Matt Ragghianti, ASRT Scanner, February-March, 2016)

"I was not into fasting until I came across The Detox Mono Diet: The Miracle Grape Cure and Other Cleansing Diets, by Christopher Vasey, and soon my fridge became home to over 15 pounds of organic grapes. Now began a minute scrutiny of the book so that I could find out firsthand what this book and the fasting regimen is all about. . . . The wise and informative approach of the author is apparent throughout the book. I strongly recommend not only this book, but also the system of grape mono-diet to all seekers of health."
