Sinopsis

The Problem of Crime adopts a series of vantage points to assess the nature, meaning and extent of crime in society. The areas covered include: the measurement of crime; media and fictional representations of crime; social histories of crime and punishment; crime in the inner cities; crime in the home; corporate crime; and crimes of the state.

The book is designed to reveal the diversity and ubiquity of crime, and the problematic nature of the concept itself. It broadens popular understandings of the crime problem by encouraging a critical reflection on the nature of social orders which appear to generate a whole series of social problems for their citizens, but which select only a few to be sites of criminal sanction.

This innovative teaching text is a course text for The Open University course D315 Crime, Order and Social Control.
