Concept information

Preferred term

sociology of political crimes  

Definition(s)

  • Political crime is rarely examined when studying the dynamics of crime, justice, and law. Yet understanding political offenses or illegalities is fundamental to comprehending the workings of a criminal justice system that selectively defines, enforces, and adjudicates who is defined as criminal. [Source: The Social History of Crime and Punishment in America: An Encylopedia; Political Crimes, Sociology of]
