Preferred term
sociology of political crimes
Definition
- Political crime is rarely examined when studying the dynamics of crime, justice, and law. Yet understanding political offenses or illegalities is fundamental to comprehending the workings of a criminal justice system that selectively defines, enforces, and adjudicates who is defined as criminal.
