This article explores a remaining black box in the criminological literature on public problems: the prioritisation of the problem in the public arena. The research uses the case study of Genevan philanthropy to address the prioritisation of harms by moral entrepreneurs. Employing a qualitative methodology, it describes the prioritisation process by using the ‘market for social harms’ metaphor. It argues that philanthropists select their harms according to a risk/benefit assessment, which stems from the business world. This valuation of harms is collective and dependent on the competition and co‐operation between philanthropists. Finally, by detailing this metaphor, the study provides the key to obtaining a more general understanding of the prioritisation process.

“…Nonetheless for the past decade or so, there has been a surge of interest in philanthropy in France and a surprisingly positive reception from the media and the general public-except for a few voices concerned with tax incentives for wealthy donors (Gautier et al 2015;Lambelet 2014). Private foundations and charitable giving were cautiously encouraged in the 1970s and 1980s as the welfare state transfers were increasingly perceived as unsustainable (Rosanvallon 1981).…”

“…During the final decades before the French Revolution, the concept of philanthropy evolved. The virtue and philosophical idea also became a doctrine of action and an emerging social movement of reformist elites (Duprat 1993;Lambelet 2014). Inspired by Enlightenment philosophers, progressive members of the nobility and bourgeoisie-industrialists, bankers, physicians, scientists, philosophers, and public officials-founded the first philanthropic societies.…”

Historically contested concepts: A conceptual history of philanthropy in France, 1712-1914

Since W. B. Gallie introduced the notion of essentially contested concepts (ECCs) in 1956, social science scholars have increasingly used his framework to analyze key concepts drawing Bendless disputes^from contestant users. Despite its merits, the ECC framework has been limited by a neglect of social, cultural, and political contexts, the invisibility of actors, and its ahistorical character. To understand how ECCs evolve and change over time, I use a conceptual history approach to study the concept of philanthropy, recently labeled as an ECC. Using France during classical modernity as a case study, I analyze key events and actors from the concept's inception in 1712 as a virtue of the Enlightenment to its triumph after 1789 as a secular alternative to Catholic charity, until its decline at the end of the nineteenth century as a new consensus emerged around the concept of solidarity. By introducing the notion of historically contested concepts, I make several contributions to research on ECCs, conceptual contestation, and conceptual change.
