About this product

Product Information

The most significant fact about crime is that it is almost always committed by men. Despite this, academic consideration of crime tends to overlook this most obvious feature. If gender is discussed at all, it is usually with women as the victims of crime. Just Boys Doing Business? is the first book to challenge mainstream criminology by taking the social construction of masculinity as its focus. The book brings together a broad range of criminologists with established international reputations. It comes at a time when there is increasing concern about levels of crime - especially among young men. The contributors come from three continents and illustrate theinternational significance of a focus on masculinity when looking at crime. The editors areboth established criminologists. Betsy Stanko is a pioneer of feminist criminology and botheditors have published widely within and outside the discipline. This book will be of particular appeal to teachers and students of criminology, sociology, and gender studies, as well as to criminal justice practitioners. Tim Newburn is Research Fellow, Policy Studies Institute, London; Elizabeth Stanko is Reader in Law, Brunel University Contributors include: Tony Jefferson, University of Sheffield; Nigel Fielding, University of Surrey; Joe Sim, John Moores University; Dick Hobbs, Durham University; Roga
