About this product

Product Information

Most of us are very much aware of the behaviours which, by law, constitute crime. Rarely, however, do we stop to consider why certain activities and behaviours are deemed criminal and others are not. What Is a Crime? examines how we define criminal conduct in contemporary society, and how we respond to it once it has been identified. Drawing from diverse scholarly traditions - including law, sociology, criminology, and socio-legal studies - these essays look at the processes of defining crime, and consider the varied and complex implications of decisions to criminalize certain behaviour. From the perspective of various case studies, the contributors reflect on the social processes that inform definitions of crime, criminal law, and its enforcement, while illuminating the subjective nature of crime and questioning the role of law in dealing with complex social issues. What Is a Crime? will be of interest to readers with an interest in the governance of crime and its control in contemporary society. Students and scholars of law, sociology, political science, philosophy, and criminology will find this book invaluable in furthering their understanding of the processes of defining and responding to crime and criminal behaviour. It will also appeal to policy makers, criminal justice practitioners, and anyone with a stake in our current approaches to crime. The Law Commission of Canada is an independent federal law reform agency that advises Parliament how to improve and modernize Canada's laws.
