ABSTRACT
Criminology and International Relations (IR) contribute to connected concerns and concepts both disciplines have shared in an analysis of political violence, security, crime, risk and human rights which are engulfed in a shared analysis of the so-called 'war on terror'. This chapter maps out ways in which criminologists have engaged with IR in the past which have disrupted stable meanings between the inside and the outside. It utilises narrative interviews with veterans currently serving a sentence in the criminal justice system of England and Wales as a muse to suggest that the veteran is a logical extension of a debate between the inside and the outside. These narratives demonstrate that those who once managed 'criminal' groups are now managed as risky for their criminal status in the domestic sphere. The chapter also discusses the empirical data collected to highlight a new debate about those who have been instrumental in managing the risk posed by enemy groups in "war on terror'.
