Advances a new sociology of crime and disrepute that focuses on the criminal costs of social inequality. Connects
the diversion of capital away from distressed communities in the U.S. to increased violence and lack of social
mobility for disadvantaged groups, which result in the development of "deviance service centers" and
"ethnic vice industries." Shows the important link between "crime in the streets" and "crime
in the suites" and the differences between the two in eluding punishment.
