CRIMINOLOGY AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE SELECTION - OCTOBER 2009
*********************************************************
STREET CAPITAL
Black cannabis dealers in a white welfare state
Sveinung Sandberg and Willy Pedersen
"This is a book in the great tradition of studies of street-corner
societies. But the arena is exceptional; a riverside in the capital of a
Scandinavian welfare-state. It is an analysis sharpened by new tools that
makes for new insights." Nils Christie, University of Oslo

REGULATING SEX FOR SALE
Prostitution policy reform in the UK
Edited by Jo Phoenix
"This excellent collection constitutes a timely and important intervention
that captures the complex and contested nature of prostitution. It ought to
be compulsory reading for all politicians, policy makers and academics
claiming to have a say on this issue." Sandra Walklate, University of
Liverpool
http://www.policypress.co.uk/display.asp?ISB=9781847421050
'HATE CRIME' AND THE CITY
Paul Iganski
"... a unique analysis that is both theoretically and methodologically
grounded. ''Hate crime' and the city' will be a standard on the book
shelves of those of us seeking to understand and respond to bias motivated
violence in the UK and elsewhere." Barbara Perry, University of Ontario
Institute of Technology
http://www.policypress.co.uk/display.asp?K=9781861349392
SECURING RESPECT
Behavioural expectations and anti-social behaviour in the UK
Edited by Andrew Millie
"This timely and much-needed set of essays should help inform the ongoing
public debate on anti-social behaviour, steering it in a realist social
scientific direction, beyond the polarised sloganeering of both political
opponents and proponents." Gordon Hughes, Cardiff University
