State crime and immorality: The corrupting influence of the powerful

Abstract
This book examines the activities of UK and international elites through the lens of state crime and social policy. Initially it defines the ideal state as a single, functioning whole that ensures uniformity in the name of legitimacy yet the book poignantly outlines the dangers associated with the maintenance of legitimacy and state power. Anti-democratic measures such as the invasions of other nation states, the idea that the media, powerful corporations and individuals can both reinforce and influence the state along with the problems of over-zealous policing of a state’s own populace are also covered. Overall, the book promotes a better understanding of the complex interplay between politics, the media, business and criminal enterprise and, as a consequence, provides a comprehensive discussion of state immorality and deviance generally and state crime in particular.
