Abstract

[Despite the importance of the consumer in counterfeiting policy, there has been a lack of attention within criminology about the demand for counterfeit goods. A tendency to explain counterfeit consumption through deviance or ‘othering’; reinforces stereotypical assumptions about consumers and overplays the importance of superficial factors in consumption. This book seeks to develop a better understanding of why counterfeit markets exist when we know that many consumers knowingly buy counterfeit products and argues there is a need to consider demand for illicit goods within the context of consumer capitalism. Through focusing on the end market consumption of counterfeit fashion; a grey area in terms of criminality, and a topic on the border of more traditional criminological concern this book is concerned with the embedded nature of harm in consumer capitalism.]
