Download or read book Crime Control as Industry written by Nils Christie and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This classic text argues that crime control, rather than crime itself is the real danger for our future. Since the second edition was published in 1994, prison populations , especially in Russia and America, have grown at an increasingly rapid rate. This third edition is published to take account of these changes and draw attention to the scale of an escalating problem. It contains completely new chapters - one on 'penal geography', the other on 'the Russian case' - and has been extensively revised.
