'Beautifully written and superbly conceived, with illustrations and examples that combine theory and practice across a range of disciplines,Cultural Criminologyshould be read by anyone – academics and smart readers alike – interested in crime, media, culture and social theory. Bravo to Ferrell, Hayward and Young on a tour de force that is at once cool and classic!Cultural Criminologywill influence the field for a very long time to come.' -Professor Lynn Chancer, Hunter College, CUNY, USA
`This is not just a book on the present state and possible prospects of our understanding of crime, criminals and our responses to both. However greatly criminologists might benefit from the authors' illuminating insights and the new cognitive vistas their investigations have opened, the impact of this book may well stretch far beyond the realm of criminology proper and mark a watershed in the progress of social study as such.'- Zygmunt Bauman, Emeritus Professor, University of Leeds, UK
`Cultural Criminologyoffers a fresh new perspective on both criminality and criminal justice. It outlines the cultural hegemony of the powerful while also documenting the growing resistance to mindless criminalization and mass incarceration. Artfully written, the authors also document the work of those consciously creating a new political space to challenge the increasingly global, security society that seems inextricably tied up with late capitalism.' -Meda Chesney-Lind, University of Hawaii at Manoa
`Creative, challenging and controversial: a manifesto for mean times'- Tony Jefferson, Visiting Presidential Scholar, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, USA
Here is the definitive book on cultural criminology.
Lively, innovative, engaging and accessible, Cultural Criminology draws together the work of three of the leading international figures in the field today. The book traces the history, current configuration, methodological innovations and future trajectories of cultural criminology, mapping its terrain for students and academics interested in this exciting field.
The book highlights and analyses issues of representation, meaning and politics in relation to crime and criminal justice, covering areas such as:
-Crime and the media
-Everyday life and everyday transgression
-Popular culture
-Consumerism
-Globalisation
-Social control
The use of vignettes, case studies and visual material throughout the text brings the subject to life.

This
is
not
just
a
book
on
the
present
state
and
possible
prospects
of
our
understanding
of
crime,
criminals
and
our
responses
to
both.
However
greatly
the
professional
criminologists
might
benefit
from
the
authors'
illuminating
insights
and
the
new
cognitive
vistas
their
investigations
have
opened,
the
impact
of
this
book
may
well
stretch
far
beyond
the
realm
of
criminology
proper
and
mark
a
watershed
in
the
progress
of
social
study
as
such.
This
book,
after
all,
brings
into
the
open
the
irremediable
unclarity,
endemic
contentiousness
and
the
resulting
frailty
of
the
line
dividing
deviance
from
the
norm
of
social
life
-
that
line
being
simultaneously
a
weapon
and
the
prime
stake
in
the
construction
and
servicing
of
social
order.
Professor Zygmaut Bauman
Cultural criminology has been written about and discussed at length in criminology circles over the last five years -- including by the well-known trio of Ferrell, Hayward and Young -- but this is their best work to date on this fascinating approach and its significance. Beautifully written and superbly conceived, with illustrations and examples that combine theory and practice across a range of disciplines, Cultural Criminology should be read by anyone - academics and smart readers alike - interested in crime, media, culture and social theory. Bravo to Ferrell, Hayward and Young on a tour de force that is at once cool and classic! Cultural Criminology will influence the field for a very long time to come.

An invitation indeed. The cultural criminology project described by Jeff Ferrell, Keith Hayward and Jock Young in this remarkable book will surely inspire many students of crime and crime control to accept their invitation and join the movement. The book comes at precisely the right time, as a powerful synthesis of a set of ideas, research practices, and political sentiments that have energized an expanding network of criminological researchers during the last two decades...no one can fail to be impressed by the skill and energy they have brought to this effort. With their remarkable grasp of the intricate details of contemporary cultural life and a narrative style that expresses the distinctive energy and flow of the late modern era, the book’s authors demonstrate cultural criminology’s purchase on the world of crime and transgression in the 21st century...
this book represents by far the most comprehensive examination of this emerging criminological perspective...a key text in the development of cultural criminology.

Cultural criminology is still developing and this book, and the work that has developed in the cultural criminology tradition, has reenergised criminology and brought the offender back into the picture. This picture is vivid, energetic and passionate.

This resource provides an excellent textbook for those teaching cultural criminology as a module. Its use of vignettes, photographs and the novel way of highlighting films of interest at the end of each chapter provide a resource useful for teachers and students alike. One is left with a sense of optimism and an enthusiastic taste in the mouth. This book is a pleasure to read in no small way due to the humour of Ferrell, Hayward and Young in (a) pointing out the absurdities of the discipline and (b) suggesting a refreshing alternative. Highly recommended reading.
