Reviews
Publisher Synopsis
"Overall, this is a useful addition to an accumulating stock of excellent texts on thetopic of anti-social behaviour. It will, I am sure, be added to reading lists by those whoteach criminal justice policy to undergraduates, and who want to direct students to the range of areas in which the current obsession with ASBOs can be found." British Journal of Criminology "this book will certainly be of interest to students, academics, practitioners and policy-makers alike. Engaging, well-structured and, at times, provocative........of excellent quality." Prison Service Journal "The social construction of 'anti-social behaviour', together with the extension and dispersal of interventions, sanctions and, ultimately, punishments targeted at the 'anti-social', comprise some of the most controversial policy developments of the New Labour era. This timely volume critically illuminates the origins, applications and impact of such phenomena. It makes essential reading for researchers, students, policy-makers and practitioners alike." Barry Goldson, Professor of Criminology and Social Policy, University of Liverpool Read more...
