Demystifying Power, Crime and Social Harm

This edited collection revisits Steven Box’s book, Power, Crime and Mystification, published in 1983, and considers its relevance thirty years on. It introduces the critical analysis developed by Box which examined corporate crime, police crime, rape, and female crime and analyses the continuities and discontinuities since that time in relation to crime, the state and the exercise/mystification of power.
