ISBN: 9780195321012

Our thinking and policies varies wildly from one to the other, with inconsistencies that derive more fr

In his presidential address to the American Sociological Society more than half a century ago, Edwin H. Sutherland advanced the idea that crime was being perpetrated by members of society who are considered "normal," "affluent," and "well-adjusted." This notion of a new criminal class played havoc with the traditional theories of crime causation and directed considerable research away from the criminal at war with society to the criminal nestled snugly in society's lap. Since then, the concept of "white-col

In this comprehensive and controversial case study of anticorruption efforts, Frank Anechiarico and James B. Jacobs show how the proliferating regulations and oversight mechanisms designed to prevent or root out corruption seriously undermine our ability to govern. By constraining decision makers' discretion, shaping priorities, and causing delays, corruption control--no less than corruption itself--has contributed to the contemporary crisis in public administration.
