ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an understanding of creative crime and to solidify the creative crime as kudzu analogy. It suggests that one view culture jamming, interventionism, and sabotage collectively, creative crime as working in concert as a check on governmental power. After presenting the case for why creative crime can be analogized to kudzu, the chapter also suggests ways in which the judicial system may serve as a complement to or as support for culture jammers, interventionists, saboteurs, and other artist activist's creative acts of transgression. It is precisely this type of relationship between the kudzu of creative crime and the third branch that would maintain offers the potential for the most comprehensive check on governmental abuse of power. This chapter also suggests creative crimes inclusiveness, participatory possibilities, and effectiveness at heightening consciousness and contesting and checking dominant power structures and discourses, increases when it uses, employs, or entoils other branches of governance.
