Not crime itself, but crime control is the real danger for society, argues Christie (criminology, U. of Oslo). He documents the enormous growth in the number of prisoners in recent years, particularly in Russia and the US. But the fundamental problems, he says, are the unequal distribution of wealth and the lack of access to paid work. The 1993 first edition was published in English and as Kriminalitetskontroll som industri by Universitetsforlaget, Oslo; the second edition appeared in 1994. The third is radially revised to account for the accelerating proportion of people in prison, and contains new chapters on penal geography and the Russian case. It is not indexed. Annotation c.
