The state as a victim of crime

The state as a victim of crime Neglect of the study of collectivities as victims of crime, in particular of the state, has been a major lacuna in victimological research. This article examines the role of the state both as a surrogate and direct victim of crime, focussing on the harm suffered by the state as a victim of white-collar crime. The nature of such harm is examined, as are some of the victimogenic factors which result in the state being probably the most frequent victim of crime. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology SAGE

Abstract

Neglect of the study of collectivities as victims of crime, in particular of the state, has been a major lacuna in victimological research. This article examines the role of the state both as a surrogate and direct victim of crime, focussing on the harm suffered by the state as a victim of white-collar crime. The nature of such harm is examined, as are some of the victimogenic factors which result in the state being probably the most frequent victim of crime.
