In the interest of understanding that violence, like racism, is sometimes built into the structural context of the social system itself. Joe Feagin calls this institutional racism, meaning that it has a racist effect even though there is no perpetrator because there is no need for one. The rules of the institutional setting itself accomplish the discrimination. In the same way we can have the effect of wreaking harm or even physical violence through the "rules" of the setting, without any individual intent to do harm or violence to another.
- Structural Violence
- Busting the Good Samaritan by Fred Dickey. In the Los Angeles Times Magazine. August 12, 2001. backup Teaching and review essay up soon.

More when I manage to get up the review and teaching essay. We'll take a close look at this story in criminology and in sociology of law.
