`By providing accessible and readable introductions to often neglected aspects of crime, the volume is a welcome change from texts focusing on the more conventionally constructed problems of juvenile crime, theft and violent crime' - Reviewing Sociology
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.

Softcover / Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Softcover. Reprint. This book was the first in a series published by Sage Publications in association with The Open University, and offers a comprehensive analysis of some of the most important developments in the study of crime. The book considers how the criminological gaze has shifted its focus from a preoccupation with ?crimes of the streets? to examining also the serious social harms and injuries associated with crime in the city, child abuse, domestic violence, organised crime, corporate crime, political violence, hate crime and crimes of the state. The book also emphasises the necessity of studying the staging and representation of crime in the news media and popular culture. In doing so the book highlights the ways that criminologists are currently challenging and reformulating the concept of crime. Drawing on a wide range of explanatory and illustrative material, the contributors interrogate the proposition that there are universally agreed conceptions of what constitutes the crime problem. A persistent and widespread public concern with crime suggests that everyone knows what it is. However, each chapter in this book shows that ?crime? carries a range of meanings and understandings that are open to disputation, and which shift historically and culturally. Part of The Open University course D315 'Crime, Order and Social Control'. Illus., References, Figures, Tables and Index. 328pp. 8vo. softcover. With a crease across the lower corner of the fr. cover o/w Nr. Vg. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 19446
