What is Misdemeanor Crime: Trivial Criminal Pursuit (Studies in Crime, Law, and Criminal Justice) about?
<p>Lindquist discusses the distinction between felonies and misdemeanors and the simplistic nature of current definitions. He examines the political power special interest groups can assert in determining the nature of misdemeanor crime and its use as a powerful tool of subjection in the hands of the state. Various categories of misdemeanor crime are presented, and the transgressors, their punishment, and their victims all discussed at length. Chapters cover street deviance crimes such as prostitution, drug and alcohol abuse, gambling, and homosexuality, as well as petty crime, family violence and child abuse, and obsenity and pornography.</p>
