Description
This book takes a radical look at organisational crime and deviance through the prism of Cultural Theory derived from anthropology. It does so through case studies and by introducing new concepts such as 'organisational perversion', 'tyranny' and 'organisational capture'.
Exploring the effects of change and environmental influences such as globalisation, new technologies, and trade-cycles on the nature and potency of criminogenic communities such as ports and holiday resorts, the book gives special attention to the justification of ethics and to the analysis of behaviours that have contributed to the current economic downturn.
The Appendix offers a practical guide to the ethnographic assessment of links between organisations and varying types of crime and deviancy using a Cultural Theory framework.
