This chapter explores the history of the three regions in Europe which are the focus of this work; namely, England and Wales, and the former East and West Germany. Their recent economic histories are recounted, as well as the nature of these economic and social changes, and which social groups are most likely to have been affected by them. These changes have increased the opportunities for crime in the marketplace for many citizens. The extent to which people living in these three areas report perceptions of change in their societies is examined, as well as trust in market institutions, cynicism about the law, and values related to contemporary citizenship, and how they differ between change regions and generations.
