Abstract
It has been 13 years since Ruth Jamieson (1999) called upon criminology to use its analysis more creatively in relation to war and show that ‘there is more to be said’ with regards the criminality of war itself and its impacts thereafter. With some notable exceptions during this time (e.g. Hudson and Walters, 2009) war has been paid limited attention by either criminology or victimology. However, given that more than 590 British soldiers have lost their lives serving in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (since 2001 and 2003 respectively) it is perhaps time to reconsider if there is even ‘more to be said’ about the circumstances under which some of these deaths have occurred.
