- The book seeks to demonstrate how the central premise that there are disproportionately impactive signal crimes, provides a generalisable framework for interpreting and understanding public reactions to a range of crime problems. Consequently, in terms of its empirical focus, it ranges across anti-social behaviour, murder, terrorism, public order and the conduct of social control. These are topics that are usually the subject of individuated treatments in the scholarly literature, rather than being brought together within the same volume. This panoramic view of crime and control, that was distilled from a decades worth of empirical studies, justifies double-weighting the volume.
