This book provides an analysis of the two concepts of power and
crime and posits that criminologists can learn more about these
concepts by incorporating ideas from disciplines outside of
criminology. Although arguably a 'rendezvous' discipline, Vincenzo
Ruggiero argues that criminology can gain much insight from other
fields such as the political sciences, ethics, social theory,
critical legal studies, economic theory, and classical literature.
In this book Ruggiero offers an authoritative synthesis of a range
of intellectual conceptions of crime and power, drawing on the
works and theories of classical, as well as contemporary thinkers,
in the above fields of knowledge, arguing that criminology can
'humbly' renounce claims to intellectual independence and adopt
notions and perspectives from other disciplines. The theories
presented locate the crimes of the powerful in different
disciplinary contexts and make the book essential reading for
academics and students involved in the study of criminology,
sociology, law, politics and philosophy.
