About the Book

Respectable Citizens - Shady Practices seeks to explore a previously neglected aspect of crime in modern society - namely those crimes that are committed by otherwise 'respectable' citizens in the market arena. The book delves into the 'grey zone' where illegal, unfair, unethical, and 'shady' practices coalesce: from the retailers who see themselves as victims of customers who take unfair and often illegal advantage of generous offers, to the consumers sold 'useless' insurance and financial packages and 'defrauded' by 'small print' clauses.The authors outline the contours of the contemporary moral economy, driven and shaped by technological innovation as much as new economic policies, and ask, is a 'predatory society' emerging from the central sphere of consumption?

Review :
Farrall and Karstedt's book is a visionary and well-researched text on a neglected area of criminology. It is no surprise that this book was the recipient of the Outstanding Book Award from the Division of White-Collar and Corporate Crime. This book ought to be read not only by all criminologists but also by individuals involved in the decision-making roles of various industries (including the financial services, transport, energy and health sectors), regulators of those sectors as well as police and prison officers.
