The study of social control has long been of academic interest. Groupliving requires the establishment of social and legal norms to governbehaviour, and societies seek to prevent violations of these norms byimposing penalties on those who break the rules. One form of legalviolation is categorized as 'crime,' and the perpetrators as'criminals.' Many criminologists study these rule-breakers tofind out why they step outside the mores and laws of their society.

"The goal of this textbook is to provide an introductory, yet in-depth examination and critical analysis of organized crime and its control in Canada. This goal will be met by exploring and critically analyzing definitions, descriptions, case studies, theories, research, criminal justice policies, and enforcement approaches related to organized crime in this country. This book will help students understand the complex nature of this phenomenon and its varied treatment by the academic literature, popular culture, and government enforcement policies and programs. This includes dispelling the many enduring myths, sensationalized portrayals, and chronic misinformation that have engulfed this topic for so many years. A central theme of this book is that organized crime in Canada has resulted, in part, from historical developments, dominant institutions, government policies, as well as social conditions, norms, values, and vices that are indigenous to this country. Despite the many harms that organized crime has inflicted on Canadian society, Canadians have a symbiotic relationship with criminal syndicates and underground markets by readily consuming illegal and contraband goods and services to satisfy their many vices. Ostensibly, this book strives to determine whether there is a Canadian version of organized crime that is reflective of this country and distinguishes it from other countries."--

We all have notions of what it means to commit a crime. Most of us are very much aware of the behaviours which, by law, constitute crime. Rarely, however, do we stop to consider why certain activities and behaviours are deemed criminal and others are not. A brilliant and provocative volume, What Is A Crime? forces us to reconsider both how we define criminal conduct in contemporary society, and how we respond to it once it has been identified. Drawing from diverse scholarly traditions -- including law, sociology, criminology and socio-legal studies -- contributors to this collection reflect on the processes of defining crime, and consider the varied and complex implications of our decisions to criminalize certain unwanted behaviour. Employing various case studies, the contributors reflect on the social processes that inform definitions of crime, criminal law, and its enforcement, while illuminating the subjective nature of crime and questioning the role of law in dealing with complex social issues. Collectively, the authors provide a critical dialogue on law and governance in contemporary society. What Is A Crime? will be of interest to a broad spectrum of readers with an interest in the governance of crime and its control in contemporary society. Students and scholars of law, sociology, political science, philosophy, and criminology will find this book invaluable in furthering their understanding of the processes of defining and responding to crime and criminal behaviour. It will also hold sway with policymakers, criminal justice practitioners, and anyone with a stake in our current approaches to crime.
