- The author spent a decade collecting ethnographic data, including several years living with people in the community. The book is grounded in a mixed-methods analysis that combines participant observation with interviews and archival research. It draws connections between areas not usually brought together, including criminal justice, social welfare, housing and austerity politics. It provides an interdisciplinary analysis that brings anthropology, criminology, and social theory to bear on debates around inequality and the state in Britain today.
