This is the first book to examine the activities of UK and
international 'role models' through the lens of state crime and
social policy. Written by experts in the field of sociology and
social policy, it defines the ideal state as a single, functioning
whole that ensures uniformity in the name of legitimacy. It then
details the ways that states do not constitute the ideal in terms
of the dangers associated with the maintenance of legitimacy and
state power. Anti-democratic measures, such as the invasions of
other nation states, the idea that the media can both reinforce and
influence the state and the problems of over-zealous policing of a
state's own populace, are covered. Using the topical example of
Rupert Murdoch and the activities of his media organisation to show
how powerful individuals and corporations can and do exert
political influence, the book provides a comprehensive discussion
of state immorality and deviance generally and state crime in
particular. It will appeal to range of academics and practitioners
in broader disciplines such as criminology, sociology, politics and
political science.
