Crime tops the headlines, leads the evening news, and is a focus
of every election. But what causes crime? Is there a more rational
way to address it than by law-and-order crusades?
In this fact-filled, sweeping treatment, George Winslow takes on
every aspect of the topic, from the streets to the suites. Unlike
conventional accounts, Capital Crimes places the issue in the
context of a larger political economy. From the Burmese heroin
trade to homicide, from the capital flight that has generated crime
in inner cities to corporate money-laundering schemes, Capital
Crimes shows how economic forces and elite interests have shaped
both the world of crime and society's response to it.
Based upon extensive research and interviews, Capital Crimes
presents a comprehensive alternative to a "lock 'em up" approach
that has produced a gargantuan prison-industrial complex without
coming to terms with the root of crime.
