ABSTRACT
The title of this book, Cultural Criminology Unleashed, is meant to be suggestive, even audacious. Talk of the leashed and the unleashed suggests struggling against confinement, a pent-up energy pulling against its limits. Then, at the moment of unleashing – depending on how one frames the metaphor – a couple of possibilities: an outbreak of resistance against all that is conventional and constraining or, more prosaically, some great mad dog charging off into the distance.
