Foucault, Crime and Power argues that a Foucauldian approach to crime holds greater analytical potential for criminological research than have so far been recognized. The book considers both how crime has been conceived as problem and the responses that has been suggested to deal with it, using developments in Denmark as a paradigmatic case for understanding how crime has been problematized in the West. Christian Borch demonstrates how the tendency of criminologists to focus on either disciplinary power or governmentality has thus far neglected the broader complex of Foucault's concerns and their historical context.
Christian Borch is Professor of Political Sociology at the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark. His previous books include Niklas Luhmann (Key Sociologists) (Routledge, 2011) and The Politics of Crowds: An Alternative History of Sociology (Cambridge University Press, 2012).
