This book provides an anthropological exploration of the ways in
which crime is perceived and defined, focusing on notions of truth,
intentionality, and evidence. The chapters contain rich
ethnographic case studies drawn from work in the Middle East,
Africa, India, Mexico and Europe. A variety of instances are
discussed, from court proceedings, police reports and newspapers to
moments of conflict resolution and reconciliation. Through analysis
of this material, the authors reflect on how perception of an act
as a crime can differ and how the definition of crime may not be
shared by all societies. The approach takes into consideration
local standards as well as social, legal and contextual
constraints.
