In the 21st century, Britain has witnessed a stark contrast between the protection afforded to the rich and the harsh punishment meted out to the poor. This phenomenon is explored in depth in Rich Crime,Poor Crime, a book by Colin Webster. Webster delves into the historical roots of Britain's ruling classes, revealing their intricate entanglements in land ownership, war, conquest, slavery, finance, trade, industry, and empire. Through this lens, he exposes a system that allows these elites to accumulate and grow capital and wealth at the expense of others, facilitated by political corruption and wealth.
The book also highlights the prevalence of serious wrongdoing, such as corporate, banking, and accounting fraud, money laundering, and tax evasion, within this system. These crimes not only harm individuals and businesses but also have significant consequences for the broader British society.
Examining the conditions of extreme inequality that give rise to poor crime and rich crime, as well as the social response to both types of crime, reveals a deep interconnectedness between them. The book argues that the social and economic disparities that exist in Britain contribute to the perpetuation of these crimes and that addressing these issues is essential for creating a more just and equitable society.
Rich Crime,Poor Crime is a valuable resource for academics, professionals, and anyone interested in understanding the complex dynamics of crime and society in Britain. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the historical and contemporary factors that contribute to inequality and offers insights into the potential solutions to this pressing problem.
