The Titanic: class, crime, negligence and recklessness

Given the centenary of the Titanic disaster is being commemorated as if it was a celebration, let us remember that, as distinguished journalist Eamonn McCann says in the comment below, it revealed "the ugly face of class society". I would add that all criminology undergraduates could use the Titanic in their writings as a case study to assess the relations between class, crime, civil negligence and disaster. 'When is a crime not a crime?' is a key theme for CrimeTalk in 2012 and Titanic seems to show that one answer is: when the rich are massively reckless and grossly negligent, it is re-classified as a disaster.

In all the Titanic hype where is the memorial to victims?
