Abstract

The 'crimes of the powerful' label unifies into one framework, on a more systematic level, research on organizational and institutional networks of power that harm and injure people. Although the term was originally coined by Frank Pearce in 1976, it has only recently entered mainstream discourse (Friedrichs, 2015). This framework is a product of a long history of broadening criminology beyond its narrow focus on street crime.
