Biography

Dawn L. Rothe is a professor of criminology in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, Florida Atlantic University. Her research interests and publications focus on issues of power, inequality, and neoliberalism.

David Kauzlarich is a professor and Head of Sociology at the University of North Carolina Greensboro. His scholarship focuses on crimes of the powerful and resistance.

"Rothe and Kauzlarich’s second edition is a pedagogic gem that provides a comprehensive and integrated understanding of the theory and practice of white- collar crime, occupational crime, corporate crime, organized crime, state crime, state- corporate crime, and financial crime from the viewpoints of production, victimization, regulation, and resistance. Like the first edition of Crimes of the Powerful this one will remain the textbook in this field of study."
