{"product_id":"9781461646921","title":"What Is Crime?: Controversies over the Nature of Crime and What to Do about It","description":"For decades, scholars have disagreed about what kinds of behavior count as crime. Is it simply a violation of the criminal law? Is it behavior that causes serious harm? Is the seriousness affected by how many people are harmed and does it make a difference who those people are? Are crimes less criminal if the victims are black, lower class, or foreigners? When corporations victimize workers is that a crime? What about when governments violate basic human rights of their citizens, and who then polices governments? In \u003ci\u003eWhat Is Crime?\u003c\/i\u003e the first book-length treatment of the topic, contributors debate the content of crime from diverse perspectives: consensus\/moral, cultural\/relative, conflict\/power, anarchist\/critical, feminist, racial\/ethnic, postmodernist, and integrational. Henry and Lanier synthesize these perspectives and explore what each means for crime control policy.","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield Publishers, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107433627888,"sku":"9781461646921","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781461646921_p0.jpg?v=1769889688","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781461646921","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
