ABSTRACT

Religion and politics have often claimed that the existence of the powerful is justified by the protective role they exercise over the powerless. Hence the view that the elite is able to reproduce itself predominantly through acts of generosity, renunciation and selflessness. The crimes of the powerful, ultimately, have emerged as performative acts, namely as conducts which become assertive, truthful, ethical and therefore acceptable in the precise moment at which they are enacted. Power is, the ability to make somebody do something whether they like it or not, but in the different notions adopted when engaged in crime, needs to iterate codes, narratives and values that become acceptable and reproducible. Glaucus persuades one that anyone who is in the condition to commit an injustice without having to pay for the consequences would not hesitate to do so. The powerful have certainly narrowed the ability of the underprivileged to articulate their experiences of injustice.
