  • More about Blurring Intelligence Crime: A Critical Forensics

This book explores the conundrum that political fortune is dependent on social order and big, constitutive crime, introducing the concepts of 'intelligence crime' and 'critical forensics' and reviewing the 'apex crime' as an exemplar.

Publisher: Springer Verlag, Singapore


This captivating book delves into the intricate interplay between political fortune and the pervasive influence of large-scale, constitutive crime. It uncovers the paradoxical dependence of political success on social order, while simultaneously acknowledging the crucial role of forensic investigation in uncovering the truth behind outrageous harm. However, political authorities often manipulate events to serve their social agendas, leading to the designation of crime based on its perceived relationship to politics. To address this complex problem, the book introduces the concepts of "intelligence crime" and "critical forensics." It also examines the phenomenon of "apex crime," a watershed event involving government support for a contested political and social order, and its primary opponent as the obvious offender, subjected to a confirmation bias.

Chapters within the book feature in-depth case study analyses of a diverse range of well-known, high-profile crimes. These cases shed light on the blurred or smeared motives and actions of security or intelligence actors, depending on their interconnections with transactional political events or their perceived friend/enemy status. By exploring these cases, the book offers a profound exploration of the complex dynamics between politics, crime, and the pursuit of truth.

This thought-provoking work challenges readers to consider the broader implications of this interplay and the role that forensic investigation plays in maintaining a just and democratic society. It serves as a valuable resource for scholars, policymakers, and anyone interested in understanding the complex relationship between politics, crime, and the rule of law.
