Praise for the previous edition: `However greatly criminologists might benefit from the authors illuminating insights and the new cognitive vistas their investigations have opened, the impact of this book may well stretch far beyond the realm of criminology proper and mark a watershed in the progress of social study as such - Zygmunt Bauman, Emeritus Professor, University of Leeds Bringing together the three leading international figures in the field, this book traces the history, theory, methodology and future direction of cultural criminology. Drawing on issues of representation, meaning and politics, it walks readers through the key areas that make up this fascinating approach to the study of crime. The second edition has been fully revised to take account of recent developments in this fast developing field; it includes: A new chapter on war, terrorism and the state New sections on cultural criminology and the politics of gender, and green cultural criminology Two new and expanded chapters on research methodology within the field of cultural criminology Further Reading suggestions and a list of related films and documentaries at the end of each chapter, helping students to take their studies beyond the classroom New and updated vignettes, examples, and visual illustrations throughout A new concluding chapter Building on the success of the first edition, Cultural Criminology: An Invitation offers a vibrant and cutting-edge introduction to this growing field. It will encourage students to adopt a critical and contemporary approach to their studies in criminology.
