- Crime, Community and Morality is a single-authored monograph that critically analyses and reconstructs the relationship between community and crime control. Providing a careful exegesis of the political construction of the ‘crime problem’, the book explores the breakdown of morality in public debates about the causes of crime and how this is then used to mobilise communities in crime control strategies. Navigating between criminological concerns about control and governance and social theories about culture and identity, the precepts of cultural criminology are used to demonstrate how the justice system has become maladapted and develop a new theory of rule-breaking.
