This provocative book asks why, if the actions of key players on Wall Street and in the government resulted in an economic downturn that harmed millions of Americans and destroyed capital worldwide, no one was held criminally liable for these actions.Author Gregg Barak provides a basic history of financial regulation and deregulation, as well as a primer on both securities fraud and mass victimization. Using key concepts in victimology and white collar crime, he explores the diverse ways civil and criminal law enforcement responded to the damaging behavior on Wall Street. The book also assesses Wall Street Financial Reform and the Consumer Protection Act of 2010, showing the ways that Americans may still be at risk.Theft of a Nation is the first comprehensive criminological investigation of the role of Wall Street and the government in the recent financial crisis, asking critical questions about who has been victimized and why.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 232mmItem Length: 162mmItem Width: 20mmItem Weight: 494gAuthor: Gregg BarakGenre: Society & CultureBook Series: Issues in Crime and JusticeTopic: Social SciencesRelease Year: 2012 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
