De la criminalité en col blanc à la corruption politique


Despite a few highly mediatised scandals, crimes committed by economic or political elites are not perceived as being as serious as crimes against persons or property. The perpetrators do not feel the same sense of disobeying or of harming society. These crimes do not stir up the same social reactions and do not raise the same issues within the penal system.

With Carla Nagels (professor of criminology at ULB) and Pierre Lascoumes (research director at the Paris Institute of Political Science), co-authors of Sociologie des élites délinquantes. De la criminalité en col blanc à la corruption politique (2014).
