What is Capital crimes about?

<p>Crime tops the headlines, leads the evening news, and is a focus of every election. But what causes crime? Is there a more rational way to address it than by law-and-order crusades?</p> <p>In this fact-filled, sweeping treatment, George Winslow takes on every aspect of the topic, from the streets to the suites. Unlike conventional accounts, <b>Capital Crimes</b> places the issue in the context of a larger political economy. From the Burmese heroin trade to homicide, from the capital flight that has generated crime in inner cities to corporate money-laundering schemes, <b>Capital Crimes</b> shows how economic forces and elite interests have shaped both the world of crime and society's response to it.</p> <p>Based upon extensive research and interviews, <b>Capital Crimes</b> presents a comprehensive alternative to a "lock 'em up" approach that has produced a gargantuan prison-industrial complex without coming to terms with the root of crime.</p>
