Foucault, Crime and Power

More about the book

A Foucauldian perspective on crime reveals significant analytical potential for criminological research, particularly through the lens of developments in Denmark. The book examines how crime is framed as a problem and explores various responses to it. Christian Borch critiques the tendency of criminologists to separate disciplinary power from governmentality, arguing that this oversight neglects the broader complexities of Foucault's theories and their historical implications. This approach aims to deepen the understanding of crime in a Western context.
