Who did Marx believe that a capitalist society gave an advantage to?
The
bourgeoisie
Marx identified three key inequalities within the legal system:
The Basis of Laws -
laws
are made to benefit the
bourgeoise.
Law enforcement - law isn't always
fairly
enforced
, white collar crime is less regulated.
Individual motivation - due to pressure for
material
success
, the poor are forced to turn to
criminal
behaviour
to keep up with
society.
