Just Boys Doing Business?: Men, Masculinities and Crime

Just Boys Doing Business?: Men, Masculinities and Crime

by Tim Newburn (Editor)

Synopsis

What is it about crime that makes it `men's work'? Can we imagine masculinity without crime? This is the first book of its kind to bring contributors from three continents together to examine the relationship between masculinity and crime. Covering such areas as policing, prisons, violence against women, homicide, white-collar crime, and male victimisation, this book will force us to rethink many aspects of masculinity and crime.

Media Reviews
Every 15 to 20 years a book appears that resets the course of criminology, providing an innovative way to conceptualize crime and justice issues. Just Boys Doing Business? promises to be one of those books. For those who wish to move beyond the simple binarisms of masculine/feminine and the essentialist categories of conventional criminology, this collection will show the way.
