It is well known that the social definition of individuals and
ethnic groups helps legitimize how they are addressed by law
enforcement. The philosophy of the social construction of crime and
criminal behaviour reflects how individuals, such as police
officers, construct meaning from the perspective from which they
emerge, which in turn influences their law enforcement outlook. In
the field, this is generally viewed through a positivist frame of
reference which fails to critically examine assumptions of approach
and practice. Written by an international specialist in this area,
this is the first book which attempts to situate the social
construction of crime and criminal behaviour within the
philosophical context of phenomenology and how these constructions
help inform, and ultimately justify, the policies employed to
address them. Challenging existing thinking, this is essential
reading for academics and students interested in social theory and
theories of criminology.
