Crime, Disorder and Symbolic Violence: Governing the Urban Periphery - Paperback

by M. Bowden (Author)

This timely book provides a theoretical and empirical engagement with contemporary understandings of the governance of crime, safety and security. Using a Bourdieuian framework, Bowden explores concepts such as capital, habitus and symbolic power to present an analytic tool-kit for a critically engaged public criminology.
