Much of a society's resources are devoted to dealing with, or
preparing for the possibility of, crime. The dominance of concerns
about crime also hint at the broader implications that offending
has for many different facets of society. They suggest that rather
than being an outlawed subset of social activity, crime is an
integrated aspect of societal processes. This book reviews some of
the direct and indirect social impacts of criminality, proposing
that this is worthwhile, not just in terms of understanding crime,
but also because of how it elucidates more general social
considerations. A range of studies that examine the interactions
between crime and society are brought together, drawing on a wide
range of countries and cultures including India, Israel, Nigeria,
Turkey, and the USA, as well as the UK and Ireland. They include
contributions from many different social science disciplines,
which, taken together, demonstrate that the implicit and direct
impact of crime is very widespread indeed. The chapters in this
book were originally published as a special issue of Contemporary
Social Science.
