The criminal elite

1985

0.0 (0)

A riveting exploration of white-collar crime, James Coleman's The Criminal Elite challenges students to examine the full dimensions of one of the greatest social problems of our time. Integrating a large body of new research, statistics, laws, and examples, the fourth edition offers updated coverage of political violence, consumer fraud, and controversies in the tobacco industry; structuralist theory that broadens the discussion of current law; and a new definition of white-collar crime to reflect the scholarly debate at the National White Collar Crime Center. Flexible and class-proven, The Criminal Elite is the ideal companion for introduction to sociology classes or as a primary text for advanced sociology courses.
