Examines three different types of criminal behavior in two small Newfoundland fishing villages: economic subsistence behaviors, such as poaching and making moonshine; conventional crimes, such as assault, theft, and domestic violence; and exploitative behavior, such as fish plant operators preying on vulnerable outport residents. Also describes the mounting tensions between the state and the residents since commercial fishing ceased in 1992 due to a collapse of ground fish stocks. He argues that the state's increasing and insensitive regulations force powerless people out of the fishery and destroy what is left of the outport way of life in Atlantic Canada and British Columbia.
