Crime as Structured Action
Gender, Race, Class, and Crime in the Making



February 1997 | 144 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
The author of this volume skilfully demonstrates that a vital component to understanding crime is to be able to view it as more than a single activity.

James W Messerschmidt argues that crime operates subtly through a complex series of gender, race and class practices and these interwoven elements must be seen as part of all social existence, not viewed independently.
