aeo A wide--ranging analysis of theories of crime and their relevance today. aeo Develops a new approach to crime from a perspective informed by social theory, arguing that crime must be analyzed in its social context and in relation the changes brought about by the development of markets and market relations in contemporary societies.

This book is a timely and wide-ranging account of the relationship between the development of a 'free market society' in Europe and North America and the fears and anxieties provoked by crime. It offers an evaluation of the theoretical schools in social theory and in criminology which continue to dominate the academy, but whose purchase on contemporary realities is everywhere slipping.
