Constructing Crime examines the notion of crime as a construct and why particular behaviours and individuals are defined as criminal. Contributors interrogate notions of crime and processes of criminalization in five areas - the selective criminalization of gambling, the enforcement of fraud among physicians and welfare recipients, the enforcement of laws against Aboriginal harvesting practices, and perceptions of disorder in public housing projects. By demonstrating that definitions of crime are connected to social location and status, these case studies and an afterword by Marie-Andree Bertrand challenge us to consider just who is rendered criminal and why.
