Crime, Deviance and Culture

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’.
