"This path-breaking volume fills a major gap in the literature on efforts to rebuild societies emerging from conflict. Drawing on firsthand experience in tackling organized and other destabilizing crime in Kosovo, Bosnia, East Timor, Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere, it distills that practical, hard-won knowledge into lessons and guidance for policymakers and practitioners who must face similar challenges. No similar work exists anywhere." "More than forty seasoned practitioners - judges and generals, prosecutors and human rights activists, scholars and government officials from across the world - helped generate the broad guidelines and more specific prescriptions presented in this handbook. Each of its chapters covers a different area of activity, providing not only general guidance but also real-life examples to illustrate the importance of adapting to local circumstances. Checklists and sidebars supplement the text."--BOOK JACKET.Rausch, Colette is the author of 'Combating Serious Crimes in Post-conflict Societies A Handbook for Policymakers And Practitioners', published 2006 under ISBN 9781929223954 and ISBN 1929223951.
