Just Boys Doing Business?

TRAMA

"Just Boys Doing Business?" challenges 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 the international significance of a focus on masculinity when looking at crime.

NOTE EDITORE

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.
