520 |a During the past decade, there was a resurgent tendency in criminology to explain emerging patterns of crime within the United States by referring solely to dysfunctional families or dysfunctional individuals. Other criminologists questioned these latter approaches as detaching individuals and crime from the social institutions that envelope them. In light of this recent attempt to link crime to social institutions, it seems fruitful to revisit the work of one of the most astute analysts of institutional structure: C. Wright Mills. Hence, this article begins with an overview of Mills’ sociological perspective and then shows how it provides useful insights into institutional sources of illegal behavior. The article also illustrates ways the Millsian perspective can be directly applied to an analysis of corporate crime in relation to other forms of crime emanating from the structure of contemporary U.S. society. After that, the article explores how the Millsian perspective can broaden understanding of the growing decline of ethics within America’s leading industries, governmental agencies, and the justice system. The article concludes by addressing policy implications, particularly in regard to the prospects of linking the Millsian perspective with basic tenets of peacemaking criminology.
