Photographer Ed Geis made three road trips across the U.S., accompanied by his camera and a metal folding chair. This book includes 50 of over 100 photos photos he took of Americans he met along the way who agreed to sit in the chair and have their picture taken. Geis asked the "sitters" two questions: 1) Could they express themselves using the chair, and 2) What was their biggest fear? Their responses were candid, surprising, and at times, provocative.

In his presidential address to the American Sociological Society more than a quarter of a century ago, Edwin H. Sutherland advanced the idea that crime was being perpetrated by members of society that were considered "normal," "affluent," and "well-adjusted". This notion of a new criminal class played havoc with the traditional theories of crime causation and directed considerable research away from the criminal at war with society to the criminal nestled snugly in society’s lap. Since then the concept of "white-collar crime" has become even more important for the understanding not only
