Softcover / Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Softcover. Reprint. This book was the first in a series published by Sage Publications in association with The Open University, and offers a comprehensive analysis of some of the most important developments in the study of crime. The book considers how the criminological gaze has shif…ted its focus from a preoccupation with ?crimes of the streets? to examining also the serious social harms and injuries associated with crime in the city, child abuse, domestic violence, organised crime, corporate crime, political violence, hate crime and crimes of the state. The book also emphasises the necessity of studying the staging and representation of crime in the news media and popular culture. In doing so the book highlights the ways that criminologists are currently challenging and reformulating the concept of crime. Drawing on a wide range of explanatory and illustrative material, the contributors interrogate the proposition that there are universally agreed conceptions of what constitutes the crime problem. A persistent and widespread public concern with crime suggests that everyone knows what it is. However, each chapter in this book shows that ?crime? carries a range of meanings and understandings that are open to disputation, and which shift historically and culturally. Part of The Open University course D315 'Crime, Order and Social Control'. Illus., References, Figures, Tables and Index. 328pp. 8vo. softcover. With a crease across the lower corner of the fr. cover o/w Nr. Vg. A fairly heavy book which will require additional postage if shipped overseas.
