Unique in its scope, Elite Deviance covers not only corporate crime and political corruption in historical and contemporary contexts, but also the relationship between the two. Numerous current examples and case studies grab students’ interest and reinforce all major theoretical points in the book.
How does the concentration of power and wealth in the United States facilitate systemic criminal and non-criminal acts of elite deviance? The authors, a team of established sociologists and criminologists, utilize a structural framework to examine the intersection of corporate interests and political corruption. By analyzing historical patterns alongside contemporary case studies, the text argues that elite deviance is not an aberration but a predictable outcome of existing power hierarchies.
