ABSTRACT

Ferrell and Sanders (1995), Ferrell (1999) and O’Malley and Mugford, (1994), provide a good introduction to cultural criminology, while Ferrell, Hayward and Young (2008) is being published as this book is being written and extremely likely to become a classic. Katz (1988) provides an excellent study of the seductions and pleasures of crime and Presdee (2000) the ‘carnival of crime’. Hopkins Burke (2007) provides a more extensive discussion than here of the ‘schizophrenia of crime’ and Carrington and Wilson (2002) discuss the globalisation of dance culture.
