Frank Pearce was the first scholar to use the term 'crimes of the
powerful.' His ground-breaking book of the same name provided
insightful critiques of liberal orthodox criminology, particularly
in relation to labelling theory and symbolic interactionism, while
making important contributions to Marxist understandings of the
complex relations between crime, law and the state in the
reproduction of the capitalist social order. Historically, crimes
of the powerful were largely neglected in crime and deviance
studies, but there is now an important and growing body of work
addressing this gap. This book brings together leading
international scholars to discuss the legacy of Frank Pearce's book
and his work in this area, demonstrating the invaluable
contributions a critical Marxist framework brings to studies of
corporate and state crimes, nationally, internationally and on a
global scale. This book is neither a hagiography, nor a review of
random areas of social scientific interest. Instead, it draws
together a collection of scholarly and original articles which draw
upon and critically interrogate the continued significance of the
approach pioneered in Crimes of the Powerful. The book traces the
evolution of crimes of the powerful empirically and theoretically
since 1976, shows how critical scholars have integrated new
theoretical insights derived from post-structuralism, feminism and
critical race studies and offers perspectives on how the crimes of
the powerful - and the enormous, ongoing destruction they cause -
can be addressed and resisted.
