ISBN: 9780816650675 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) For the more than a billion people who now live in urban slums, gangs are ubiquitous features of daily life.

Gangs in the Global City: Alternatives to Traditional Criminology
ISBN: 9780252073373 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 356 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Although they were originally considered an American phenomenon, gangs today have grown and transformed into global enterprises. Despite these changes, criminologists have not yet reassessed worldwide gangs in terms of the other changes associated with globalization. John M. Hagedorn aims to correct this oversight by incorporating important theoretical advances in urban political economy and understanding changes in gangs around the world as a result of globalization and the growth of the information economy. Contrary to older conceptions, today s gangs are international, are often...
