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.
