CONSTRUCTING Crime Contemporary Processes of Criminalization Text Book Mosher

Appealing to policy-makers and students and practitioners of law, criminology, and sociology, Constructing Crime examines the central question: Why do we define and enforce particular behaviours as crimes and target particular individuals as criminals? Contributors interrogate notions of crime, processes of criminalization, and the deployment of the concept of crime, including fraud against welfare recipients, physicians, laws against Aboriginal harvesting practices, public housing and gambling. By demonstrating that definitions and enforcement of crime are connected to social location and status, these interdisciplinary cases and an afterword by Marie-Andrée Bertrand challenge us to consider who is rendered criminal and why.
