CRIME AND POWER - PAMELA DAVIES TANYA WYATT KAR...

This textbook makes a concerted effort to expose crimes committed by those wielding unfettered
personal power and crimes by corporations  business and states  crimes against human and
non-human species and the environment. It examines an increasingly complex interplay of issues
which surely should be at the heart of any criminology programme. This text adopts a fresh and
innovative approach to exposing the crimes of the powerful  situating and understanding crimes
and victimisations as it does within a framework where questions of structural and personal
power in society are key. Fourteen case studies are threaded throughout the book and this
methodology is used as a teaching resource for studying and uncovering the crimes of the
powerful. The first three chapters comprehensively contextualise the problems of crime and
power and establish the importance of power to understanding crime and victimisation in
society. The chapters within Part I and Part II of the book then explore individual and group
power respectively. Each of these chapters explore a case study or case examples followed by
'Pause for Thought' questions. Bigger 'Go Further' study questions are posed at the close of
these chapters challenging students to engage in their own case study research to investigate
the dynamics of crime and power.
