Inequality, Crime and Public Policy (Routledge Revivals) PDF
by John (Australian National University, ACT, Australia) Braithwaite
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Description
First published in 1979, Inequality, Crime, and Public Policy integrates and interprets the vast corpus of existing research on social class, slums, and crime, and presents its own findings on these matters.
It explores two major questions. First, do policies designed to redistribute wealth and power within capitalist societies have effects upon crime?
Second, do policies created to overcome the residential segregation of social classes have effects on crime?
The book provides a brilliantly comprehensive and systematic review of the empirical evidence to support or refute the classic theories of Engles, Bonger, Merton, Cloward and Ohlin, Cohen, Miller, Shaw and McKay, amongst many others.
Braithwaite confronts these theories with evidence of the extent and nature of white collar crime, and a consideration of the way law enhancement and law enforcement might serve class interest.
