This book explores the problem of scientific dishonesty and
misconduct - a problem that affects all disciplines, yet whose
extent remains largely unknown and for which established standards
for reporting, prevention, and punishment are absent. Presenting
examples of research misconduct, the authors examine the reasons
for its occurrence and address the experience of victimization that
is involved, together with the perpetrators' reactions to being
accused. With consideration of the role of witnesses and
bystanders, such as book and journal editors and reviewers,
students and professional organizations, the book covers the many
forms of academic misconduct, offering a theorization of the
phenomenon in criminological terms as a particular form of crime,
before examining the possibilities that exist for the prevention
and control of scholarly crime, as well as implications for further
research. An accessible treatment of a problem that remains largely
hidden, Scholarly Crimes and Misdemeanors will appeal to readers
across disciplines, and particularly those in the social sciences
with interests in academic life, research ethics and criminology.
