Even without specific social relationships, we can shape the behavior of unknown others by recourse to moral power. I define moral power as that response to the moral structure to which people are socialized. Usually moral systems have a religious grounding. Even so, given moral systems are, in part, criminal. Patriarchy is a moral system in which women are subordinated and in which men arrogate social power to male domination.
Many religions support, in part, criminality.
Those who control access to real or acquired needs have great power to shape the behavior of others. In our time, economic power is registered in currencies but there are many non-market goods and services which can be used to coerce people to demean and degrade themselves and others. Much of the crime in class inequality comes about through the deployment of wealth in such a way to reproduce structures of domination. That middle class people don't commit robbery, burglary, mug or rape people does not yield moral superiority when they abuse trust to embezzle, defraud, exploit or coerce. D. Forms of Political Crime.
