Abstract

This article explores a remaining black box in the criminological literature on public problems: the prioritisation of the problem in the public arena. The research uses the case study of Genevan philanthropy to address the prioritisation of harms by moral entrepreneurs. Employing a qualitative methodology, it describes the prioritisation process by using the ‘market for social harms’ metaphor. It argues that philanthropists select their harms according to a risk/benefit assessment, which stems from the business world. This valuation of harms is collective and dependent on the competition and co-operation between philanthropists. Finally, by detailing this metaphor, the study provides the key to obtaining a more general understanding of the prioritisation process.

社会危害市场:以日内瓦慈善为例
本文探讨了犯罪学文献中关于公共问题的剩余黑箱:公共领域问题的优先级。该研究利用日内瓦慈善事业的案例研究来解决道德企业家对危害的优先排序问题。它采用定性方法,通过使用“社会危害市场”比喻来描述优先排序过程。它认为,慈善家根据风险/收益评估来选择他们的危害,这种评估源于商界。这种对危害的评估是集体的,依赖于慈善家之间的竞争与合作。最后,通过详细说明这个比喻,该研究为获得对优先排序过程的更一般理解提供了关键。
