Opis

This book reframes the ‘crime decline’ discourse and offers a more accurate account of the phenomenon by examining the wider socio-economic and politico-cultural context within which this decline is said to have occurred, exploring the changing landscape of crime and uncovering glimpses of experiential lived realities of crime and harm.
