Book Description
This book focuses upon the breaking of rules and taboos involved in ‘doing crime’, including violent crime as represented in fictive texts and ethnographic research. It includes chapters on topics of urgent contemporary interest such as asylum seekers, sex work, serial killers, school shooters, crimes of poverty and understandings of ‘madness’.
Editorial Reviews
Review
“[This book] clearly locates itself within the field of cultural criminology and makes a distinctive and fresh contribution to the field. Given the authors’ trans-disciplinary approach, researchers and students of working in gender, media and film studies will also find a host of important insights here.” – British Journal of Criminology
