摘要

Criminologists have long known that crimes of the powerful cost society much more financially and result in significantly more injuries and deaths when juxtaposed with more traditional crimes tracked by the criminal justice system including murder, sexual assault, robbery, burglary, arson, drug offenses, etc. Paradoxically, researchers in the fields of criminology and criminal justice have focused overwhelmingly on the latter rather than the former. Borrowing from Herman and Chomsky’s Propaganda Model, the current research project proposes a modified theoretical model to explain this phenomenon. The model details the mechanisms by which crimes of the powerful research is filtered out of the larger body of criminology and criminal justice academic literature. The proposed model generates several testable propositions for future researchers to explore.
