Abstract

The violence of the British state in the global 'war on terror' is a form of state crime, but as these crimes are largely committed as a 'junior partner' in the unlawful violence of a US-led empire's counter-terrorism, they are better understood as 'empire crime'. This article considers three levels of complicity by the British state with such empire crime.
