Session Submission Summary

Whiteness and Crime: The Role of Power in Inequalities

Fri, Nov 14, 9:30 to 10:50am, 2, Dogwood - Second Floor

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Whiteness, as a structuring force, shapes crime, criminalization, and systemic inequalities in profound ways. This panel interrogates the role of whiteness in crime and power structures, examining how it manifests in far-right extremism, elite white-collar crime, urban violence, and racialized political identities. Together, these papers provide a critical examination of whiteness as a mechanism that enables crime, sustains power, and perpetuates systemic and social inequalities.
