"Indicting the 45th President is a sequel to Criminology on Trump in real time, continuing the criminological investigation into the former US president. Developing and expanding on the themes of family dynamics, deviance, deception, dishonesty, and the weaponization of the law, this book offers the next chapter on the world's most successful outlaw. In this new book, Gregg Barak considers the campaigns and policies, the corruption, the state-organized abuses of power and obstructions of justice, the pardons, the failed insurrection, the prosecutions, the indictment of Trump and the politics of punishment in the context of the Trumpian character and the social structures that maintain and encourage such crimes of the powerful. Another accessible and compelling read, this is essential reading for all those engaged with state and white -collar crime, and those seeking a criminological understanding of Trump's evasion of justice"--
