Foucault, Crime and Power

More about the book

Exploring the intersection of crime and power through a Foucauldian lens, this book emphasizes the untapped analytical potential in criminological research. It examines the conceptualization of crime and societal responses, using Denmark as a case study to illustrate the Western approach to problematizing crime. Christian Borch critiques the tendency of criminologists to isolate disciplinary power or governmentality, arguing for a more holistic understanding of Foucault's ideas and their historical implications.
