What Is Crime?: Controversies over the Nature of Crime and What to Do about It

By Stuart Henry and Mark M. Lanier

Book Overview

In What Is Crime?, the first book-length treatment of the topic, contributors debate the content of crime from diverse perspectives: consensus/moral, cultural/relative, conflict/power, anarchist/critical, feminist, racial/ethnic, postmodernist, and integrational. Henry and Lanier synthesize these perspectives and explore what each means for crime control policy.
