Overview
In Making Trouble, leading scholars in criminology, sociology, criminal justice, women's studies, and social history explore the mediated cultural dynamics that govern image construction and understanding of a wide range of contemporary controversies (e.g., drug dealing; freight train graffiti; anti-abortion violence, etc.). Edited within unifying central themes such as "situated media;" the evolution of policing and social control; and the gendered construction of crime, deviance, and control, Making Trouble marks a significant expansion within this field.Synopsis
