Beskrivning

James W. Messerschmidt’s groundbreaking book Crime as Structured Action demonstrates that to understand crime, we must understand how crime operates through a complex series of gender, race, sexual, and class practices. In the second edition of this powerful book, Messerschmidt updates both structured action theory as well as several of the original case studies, and he includes a new case study that further brings structured action theory to life. The book also features expanded discussions of whiteness and sexuality, and their relationships to crime.

Recensioner i media

[Crime as Structured Action] offers a complex yet accessible engagement of intersectionality on criminality. . . .[A] welcomed sociological examination and critical criminologists should find its basic premise of the multidimensionality and reciprocal nature of behavior and social structure informed and particularly useful in the classroom. . . .[A]n important contribution to the criminological literature because of the noted limitation of the discipline to bring in theoretical, interdisciplinary, and intersectional framing of the complex everydayness of law, law-breaking, and social reaction to law and law-breaking. . . . Readers who are interested in a brief, informed, [and] historical-centered analysis . . . will benefit from Messerschmidt’s new volume.
